Thanks a lot! I tried to implement gdk_display_warp_pointer using
IDirectFBDisplayLayer::WarpCursor like so:
void
gdk_display_warp_pointer (GdkDisplay *display,
GdkScreen *screen,
gint x,
gint y)
{
/* g_warning ("gdk_display_warp_pointer() not implemented.\n"); */
IDirectFBDisplayLayer *layer = _gdk_display->layer;
DFBResult result = -1;
result = layer->WarpCursor(layer, x, y);
}
But the WarpCursor function returned error since the
IDirectFBDisplayLayer_WarpCursor function checks this
if (data->level == DLSCL_SHARED)
return DFB_ACCESSDENIED;
This check was failing (i.e. data->level was set to DLSCL_SHARED) so
it would return DFB_ACCESSDENIED
I'm not very familiar with the internals of DirectFB, so I didn't know
what this meant. However, as a quick and dirty hack, i removed this
check, and I can see the pointer is moving!
However, it still doesn't work completely. I was trying to move the
pointer over a button, and get an event for that operation, but it
appears that GTK/GDK is not recognizing the mouse movement event. What
can I do to get GTK/GDK to recognize this mouse movement?

Srikanth
