[patch 2/7] Xming: Reduce MOUSE_POLLING_INTERVAL

2009-01-15 Thread Jon TURNEY
Reduce MOUSE_POLLING_INTERVAL from 500ms to 50ms In -multiwindow mode, this determines how quickly X windows can track the mouse when it is outside any X window... Move the cursor around an xeyes, and you will see what this timing effects. --- xserver/hw/xwin/win.h |1 +

[patch 7/7] Cygwin/X: Unmap windows when they are minimized and map them again when the are restored
