what if it is not at all a software cursor but something like the x-eyes application? i mean a free from window that just looks like a mouse cursor or whatever shape you like. you just have to ensure that it will be always (or most of the time) on top on the other windows. it all depends on your window manager and how you can tune its window decoration. moving a window object across the screen is simple. maybe its just that the window manager will sometimes impact the needed front to back ordering. auto-raise wont be a good idea then and auto-focus might be critical if both of your cursors do meet. a second (less fine) idea (but still a somewhat feasible way) is doing it like screensavers do... grab the whole screen content and open a screen sized window on top of all others - you can manipulate its contents as you want and doing so as if there is a mouse cursor moving around. its just that you have to ensure that your "background" image gets updated periodically. -Alex. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
