Could you explain why an optimal solution require this knowledge?
Also "However this information isn't available in the driver nor in the vdagent."
does not make sense to me. The vdagent is sending this information to the
driver so this information is available in vdagent.
The current information the driver is getting is about Vdagent state (running/off), When
Vdagent is running then the client mouse should be enabled and when Vdagent is off
server mouse should be enabled. This is true for the typical use case of Vdagent.
But this isn't exactly true all of the time, for example when running Spicy along with Vdagent on
and we send a command to change the mouse mode to server mode we get that Vdagent state is on
and the mouse in server mode.
