Jonathan,

Heh... well I did mention in my post that I tried that already and it didn't do what I wanted it to. But then I tried it again at your urging and voila! For some reason I missed that my first try.

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi Tyler,

     I used my search plugin to search for objects tagged with the "user_input" keyword and found:

cyclone/MouseState 
report mouse x/y/deltax/y and buttonpress
Keywords: control max_compatible user_input

Since it gives you delta x/y I think it will solve your problem.

Subject: [PD] Mouse data without Xorg boundaries

Hello list,

Not sure if the title explains it concisely enough, but I'm looking to get mouse data without the screen limits of X. So basically when I drag the mouse to the far-right boundary of the screen and continue dragging, though my pointer stays the same on the screen, obviously there is still data being sent from the optical mouse to the comp that states I am moving right. How can I get this data? I'm mounting an optical mouse upside down under a wheel and I want to read that data. I thought MouseState from cyclone libs would give me this with the "delta" x and y, but those are confined to Xorg's limits as well. Any ideas? I don't feel confident in hacking mouse drivers without guidance....

Thanks,
Tyler
