Hello XFree86 team:
Since XFree86 now supports multiple screen, it may be worthwhile to
think about adding a new "proportional mode" to the way mouse warping
from one screen to another works. Suppose a two screen configuration,
one with 2048x2048 (left) and one with 1280x1024 (right). Suppose,
the mouse leaves screen 0 at 2048,512. Currently, it will appear on
screen 1 at 0,512, i.e. the y-position is retained ("absolute mode").
In proportional mode, the ratio of the y-position would be equal to
the ration of the screen sizes, i.e. 2:1. Therefore, the position on
the new screen would be 0,256.
I think this should be easy to implement, and if nobody is going to
volunteer, I may have a look at it (it's just adding an boolean option
to the configuration file, and a simple computation in the function
which computes the new pointer coordinates for the destination
screen).
Comments?
