Problem with mouse events in XWin server
Dear all, At work I use my portable as X server for a remote Linux machine. I can use two brands of software, Reflection X, which is installed by our IT department, or Cygwin XWin, which I install my self. The application which I need to access is Continuus, which is Motif based. What is now my problem? When I start Continuus using Reflection, I am missing some fonts. I think it are the TTF and Type1 fonts that are missing, but Reflection cannot handle them. When I start XWin using 'startxwin', I can connect to Continuus and I get my missing fonts. However, there is something else that is now missing. When one right-clicks on a screen element in Continuus, then a context dependent menu should pop-up. However, with XWin this does not happen. I used 'xev' to see the differences in mouse events, and in XWin I see the following : ButtonPress event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x21, root 0x44, subw 0x0, time 27589328, (123,42), root:(185,627), state 0x10, button 3, same_screen YES while using Reflection X I see ButtonPress event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0x41, root 0x3b, subw 0x0, time 16229, (132,53), root:(184,187), state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES Btw. I had the same problem with our Sun server. Other parts of the handling of mouse events also differ. Reflection X only reports the ButtonPress and ButtonRelease events, while XWin also leaves a MotionNotify event upon releasing the button. Is there any way I can configure or influence this? I looked at xmodmap, but that seems to be only concerned with keyboard mappings.
