Hello everybody!

        I want to forbid XFree86 to scroll the viewport. For an example on how to 
achieve this I tried to get some clues from looking at the sourcecode of the 
X11/XFree86-backend of SDL 1.2.4. But somehow I don't quite get the big 
picture of how to implement it. What about dealing with XEvents? Is there 
anything I have to take care of?

        My app does change the resolution via the XF86VidMode calls, moves the 
viewport to the top-left most corner, opens a borderless window (via gtk+) 
occupying the area from 0/0 to i_res_width/i_res_height. And now I want to 
disable XFree86's screen-panning for the time my program is running. 
Furthermore I would like to be able to have my program "swallow" any 
keyboard-events during run-time. But with XGrabKeyboard() I have similar 
problems, e.g. Alt-<TAB> (usually bound to cycle through open window by the 
window-manager), still reaches the window-manager.

        Is there any documentation on those "input grabbing" and "fullscreen" topics 
for XFree86? Sofar I was not able to find anything helpful with google.

Thanks in advance for your help and kind advice!

Best regards...

Mirco
