Thanks for that information,
Actually, what my requirement is to get the coordinates of the rectangular portion on the desktop that has changed. Comparing the screens would be a heavy task. So I am looking for an approach that will keep giving me the coordinates of the changed rectangles. Hooking onto the Xserver might affect the performance, Can I go one level below the x server, sit somewhere in between the X server and the display driver ? Actually I am not clear about how the X server actually renders the data on the screen.Can I get some information on that ? thanks, Anurag --- Scott Long <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think the easiest way to do what you are > suggesting would be to run > a "proxy" (your hook) that listens on the usual X > socket (either TCP > or UNIX).
