I am attaching a sample code that works under X, to get that to work under Mir, we only need to get cursor co-ordinates from unity8, then we only need to update get_cursor_position() method.
it requires python-evdev, python3-autopilot and python3-xlib installed. ** Attachment added: "run.py" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1630337/+attachment/4755021/+files/run.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630337 Title: Need DBus API to get current co-ordinates of the Pointer Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The autopilot tool(using evdev) moves the mouse cursor on screen relative to its current position. This works fine in X11 as there are ways to easily get the co-ordinates of the cursor, but under Mir that does not work as we have no way to get the pointer' co-ordinates. We need this API to port autopilot to work under Mir based desktop.
