X is not designed for 2 pointers, so there is no way of telling applications which pointer is giving them information. I believe that it can't be done at the moment, but this question keeps coming yp, so I've started wondering what people want to happen. How do you want this to work ? It is usually the case that one application or window has the input focus and is told when a mouse button or key is pressed (or released). If there were two pointers, each selecting a different window, would you get a click in the appropriate window when a mouse button is pressed ? Which window would get keyboard input ? -- Dr. Andrew C.
