nanogui: Thread: VNC mouse

I have a nano-x application with the server linked in and am trying to get VNC working.

The remote screen comes up but the mouse movement is only updating when an event occurs in the application.  Even then, the mouse moves only a small distance toward where it should be.  This works fine if I don't link the application into the server.

Also, the buttons from the remote don't seem to get to the nano-x application.

I have delved into the code and it looks like this mouse motion is handled in drivers/vncserver.c or possibly nanox/srv*.

Could anybody point me in the right direction to find out where the mouse position events come in from the remote and are handled by nano-x?

thanks

The remote screen comes up but the mouse movement is only updating when an
event occurs in the application.  Even then, the mouse moves only a small
distance toward where it should be.  This works fine if I don't link the
application into the server.

Since this works fine in the normal client/server case, this is likely an
issue
with multi-tasking the application with the nano-X server, which is also
functioning as a VNC server.  Likely, the nano-X client is hanging
in a GrGetNextEventXXX call, and the server isn't running.

The drivers/vncserver.c will be handling all mouse/keyboard events
from the remote VNC client, as well as handling the nano-X screen
output, and sending it over.

I can't find drivers/vncserver.c.  Where is it, it's not in 0.91 source.

Greg:

I think Dave is using my vnc patches, which are against CVS as of a week 
or two ago...
