Hello,
I have written an application which uses the RECORD extension in
the Xtst library. I have noticed that the application while appearing
to function correctly has a severe stability problem. When recording is
enabled the X session is closed whenever a window is closed or
maximized. I don't know if I am describing the problem correctly by
saying the "X Session" is closing, but what happens is that the screen
flickers for a few minutes than I am greeted with the normal gdm login
screen. Has anyone out there successfully used the RECORD extension?
Or does anyone know if it is stable? I read some posts from around 1996
which claimed is was unstable then. I'm hoping over the years it has
matured, but I haven't found any info on it.
I upgraded to the latest XFree86 4.1.0, but I am having some
difficulty in getting the RECORD extension to operate. It appears that
the extension isn't being loaded. I'd appreciate any help on this topic
too.
BACKGROUND INFO:
Platform: Red Hat Linux 6.2 on Intel Pentium II
X Windows System: XFree86 3.3.6
The application is requesting to be notified of "delivered
events" ButtonPress and ButtonRelease.
I am than looking at the root and event window ID's to determine which
widget was clicked. So far it appears to be working correctly, except
for the stability problem. I haven't found any documentation which says
that the root and event fields will contain valid data, but so far they
appear to be correct.
The purpose is to integrate this event monitoring
functionality into a training simulator.
Thanks in advance,
John
