Hello, I am thrilled to hear of this request.
I'm suprised that this is not a common request for games (two input devices for two gamers).
In my X-application (here SDL..) I want to know on which mouse a button was pressed. Accroding to XInput.h / XDeviceButtonEvent there is a field which is named "deviceid". But this has allways the same value. It doesn't matter which button I pressed. Any ideas how to solve this problem?
First of all I've to correct myself. It looks like I didn't understood (and still don't understand) the XInput extension. On the other side looking at Gimp it looks like there is a way to handle my problem just with this XInput extension.

I got to the point that I could distinguish the mice (USB and PS/2), but never learned how to have two cursors on the screen and something else got priority. But I am still subscribed to this mailing list!!!!
I don't need two cursors, just the posibility which user (= which mouse) did a button press.
Since you in Berlin are accidentially very close to me in Rostock, it might be a good idea that we both meet, or just ring me up. I still have my source from back then, just the diff to the current distribution is a bit difficult. I could tar this up for you or anybody else being interested. Also I have a demo program.

Very much thanks for this offer. But I think it should be much easyer for me to learn to use the XInput extension than to patch the X11-Server :-)
If someone has a patch for libSDL to add XInput would be nice. Or may be someone has a *realy* simple sample code how to use XInput. My fault was to think that the XDeviceButtonPressedEvent is send like a normal XButtonPressedEvent (e.g. fetched by XNextEvent (). But it's just a normal XButtonPressedEvent..
