Hmm, OK - well, I guess there are two options here, which I imagine you already know: - either tweak the fltk core to insert the key presses directly - or hook Xtest to poke values into the X11 layer Either can work, though I actually might favour Xtest, FWIW. I guess we are talking about buttons surrounding the screen, and you draw labels/buttons beside the physical buttons, like on an ATM or etc.? That said, small OEM displays with resistive touch screen overlays are surprisingly affordable now, even in small numbers, so I'd certainly consider going that way rather than having physical buttons and decoding/debouncing them (physical buttons add an awful lot more h/w to assemble/support and are a lot less flexible in use.) And it looks cool, too. The touch screen input just appears like a mouse click, so is easy for the s/w to cope with. > I've also tried fltk 2.0 and I now have text working, so I > will be going with that I think. Ah. That's interesting. Which version of fltk2? Is it one that's been "tweaked" for nanoX or is it stock from the fltk tarballs? If it is stock, then I wonder what it is doing that is different from fltk-1.3? Did you try fltk-1.1.10 BTW? If fltk2 works, fltk-1.1.x may do so also, as IIRC the internal font handling is similar. Fltk-1.3 is later than either 1.1 or 2.x, and has more stuff (e.g. the virtual device layer etc) going on under the covers that might be implicated in font handling issues... (Note that fltk2 was never really released as it never reached a state that was considered stable enough for long enough! If you use it, you may find some problems, though it mainly works well.)
