[Xpert]Sending keyboard input to arbitrary window
Hello. This is a question about XFree86 client programming. If this is the wrong list for such discussions I appologise. In that case, could someone tell me where to go please? I'd like to write a program which reads input from my USB keyboard (/dev/event0 or something like that) and sends the keys to whichever window has a certain name (titlebar). This would mean that the USB keyboard is always connected to this one window, regardless of the normal keyboard focus. Is this possible? Also, is there a way a client program can be given notice whenever a new window is opened on the display, so that it can check whether it has the right name and start the whole thing up automatically?

Re: [Xpert]XML format for XF86Config
Has there been any discussion on translation of the current XF86 config file to XML format. Lots. Some of us are very resistant to changing what we have at the moment. See Couldn't someone invent an XML version of the format and write a little translator program (or script) so that changes in one of the two files (XF86Config-4 and XF86Config.xml or whatever) gets copied over automatically when the server starts? Then everyone would have the option of using the format they like most. Just a thought. /M __ Do you Yahoo!?

[Xpert]faking keyboard input
Hello. I'd like to write a program which sends fake keyboard events to application windows. Not only to the currently focused window, but to any window. Preferably the window would be identified by its title (on the title bar). Is this possible? Could anyone point me in the right direction? I don't mind reading man pages or whatever, but I need to know which ones to read. :-) Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: [Xpert]X process redirection...
Sounds neat. Could this be used to protect an application against a crashing X server as well? Or is there a better way of doing that? /M --- Robin Rosenberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: onsdagen den 11 september 2002 11.13 skrev Fabrizio Morbini: Hi, Is possible the redirection of a running X application from a display to another? There is a proxy server called xmove that can be used. The visuals of all involved displays must match, and you must start the application using xmove to begin with. I believe you loose most extensions this way too. An alternative may be to start the application inside Xvnc. -- robin ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert __ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
