[Xpert]Getting the current mouse coordinates in XFree86

2002-10-03 Thread David Antliff
Hi, I'm trying out a little technique with extending my window manager. I'd not too elaborate but I'm not convinced it will work yet. All I need to know is, is there a program or an X function that will return the current absolute mouse coordinates without waiting for a move event or somesuch?
