No, not at all, sorry for the confusion. I'm in the middle of writing a screen 
capture program for Linux. To be as machine independent as possible, I'm 
recording a vnc session, that is later parsed to a usable video-editing 
format. Everything is working fine, except the mouse cursor.
Of course, when using remote cursors, everything is fine, but when I use the 
local-cursor option to narrow down the bandwith on the network, I receive one 
mouse position event during the vncviewer startup and that's it. I assume 
(because the client is on the same machine as the server) that the pointer 
position is updated via X (probably for performance issues), because I never 
receive another pointer position update.
However, when I try the same when the server is on a remote machine, I receive 
lots of pointer position updates, and those are captured perfectly.

My question is: how can I force the Xvnc server to send pointerPositionEvents 
to the viewer, when they reside on the same machine?
