Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) OS: Linux hi there. since a while the xserver supports multipointer and i use them.its not only childplay. un my case i use them for my wacom tablet because… if a draw something for example in krita with the tablet and then i move my mouse the last draw line is broken and i have to redraw it. that sucks on very long lines. so with multipointer the wacom has his own cursor and i can move the mouse without a currupt line in krita. at the moment i have to xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse id=9 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo eraser id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo cursor id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo pad id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo stylus id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys important is the ID xinput create-master wacom xinput reattach 10 "wacom pointer" xinput reattach 11 "wacom pointer" xinput reattach 12 "wacom pointer" xinput reattach 13 "wacom pointer" xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse id=9 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=16 [slave keyboard (3)] ⎡ wacom pointer id=17 [master pointer (18)] ⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo eraser id=10 [slave pointer (17)] ⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo cursor id=11 [slave pointer (17)] ⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo pad id=12 [slave pointer (17)] ⎜ ↳ Wacom Bamboo stylus id=13 [slave pointer (17)] ⎜ ↳ wacom XTEST pointer id=19 [slave pointer (17)] ⎣ wacom keyboard id=18 [master keyboard (17)] ↳ wacom XTEST keyboard id=20 [slave keyboard (18)] make this on every start of my system when i use the tablet. so my whish is that the kde maybe can provide a gui/KCM who we can kreate new masterpointer and add additional mouses to them if they are pluged in. like it is with your xrendr kcm. so if i plugin my wacom. a little windows ask me "want to create a new mouse pointer for your device 'wacom'?"
