RE: Xinerma and Mouse Pointer

Sorry of my ignorance on this, but I new to this stuff.  How do I get the
panoramix data into the elo driver (xf86elo.c)?    It seems as if there
should be some easy way to do this.

Thanks,
Matt

   The high level pointer code doesn't know about Xinerama.
It operates in single logical screen space and assumes it's
moving a cursor over the logical screen with input independent
of the screens (like from a mouse).  To make touch screen drivers
Xinerama aware, they would probably need to report their motion
relative to the logical screen.  I suppose that might look
something like:


#ifdef PANORAMIX
   if(!noPanoramiXExtension) {
    /* given x,y on screen n, translate to the logical coordinate */
      x += panoramiXdataPtr[n].x;
      y += panoramiXdataPtr[n].y;
   }
#endif

  This is just a guess though.  I haven't studied this.
