Code:root = DefaultRootWindow(display); // line 111 Cursor cursor=XCreateFontCursor(display,XC_arrow); XDefineCursor(display,root,cursor);
I kept trying to change the cursor in KDE control panel, and there were only transparent theme cursors, so I downloaded and compiled one,
http://penguinbait.com/icons.tar
cd /
tar xvf /path/to/icons.tar
Now I can got into KDE control center and select new xcursor, its red though, so I may need to go find some different ones
If I could just slow the thing down a little.
OMG, I got a mouse!!!!!!!! woohooo Awesome work, please some way to adjust polling so I can slow this down.
Thanks very very much!!!

event.value * 10
try a lower value?
or we're you referring to the polling interval?

damn, i've just realized that i've uploaded an old version of the mouse polling program, you should obviously remove the
which is wrong.
I'm not at home i'll try to upload a better version without this buggy multiplier.
Thanks for the feedbacks. I'll try to make update as soon as possible

I also noticed when my mouse was turned off the application spiked and held at 100%

The following might help:
Code:
int br = read(fd, &event, sizeof (event));
if (br == -1) // this whole block is currently superfluous
{
if (errno == EAGAIN)
{ usleep(10000); continue; } // new
else {
// need a plan - something bad happened
}
}
if (br != sizeof (event))
{ usleep(10000); continue; } // new
Question: if br!=0 or -1 and br<sizeof(event) then what? I think 0=>file closed, but are incomplete reads also possible? if so do we need a simple buffer algo?

I also just thought of it - I have a bluetooth mouse that managed to pair with the n810 - I'll have to try it on my Qt map (which does display a mouse cursor).

im running into some problems here... When i try to compile the mouse_poll.c program, its throwing a lot of errors, and i cant seem to find out why... Im running as root and have use apt-get install gcc to get the complier, and run the command on the website, but i get errors such as
"stdlib.h: No such file or directory
stdio.h: No such file or directory"
and a lot more...Is it that the C program is calling those functions, and gcc cant find them! (After all the No such file stuff, its has a lot of "First use in this function")
Any idea on how to get it to work (Im not really a programmer, so hopefully a easy solution) Thanks
