Clutter on X11 recognizes different devices, and attaches the device that originated the event to the ClutterEvent structure passed to the event-related signals. you can look at the ClutterEvent structure and the ClutterInputDevice class on the API reference: http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs/clutter/stable/ you will need Clutter compiled with XInput support, which is currently not the default; for 1.6 I'm about to finish XInput 2.0 support, which will be enabled by default. > The next question is totally unrelated to the above.

Does it require Cygwin? Can it be done with MinGW? you can read the building instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.clutter-project.org/wiki/BuildingClutterOnWindows ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Open Source Software Engineer Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ clutter-app-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://lists.clutter-project.org/listinfo/clutter-app-devel-list
