There are a few points that I would like to point here that I and mzanetti discussed.
Mike wanted for us to talk to the unity8 proxy object to get details of the pointer co-ordinates to screen orientation but there are a few reasons that I believe we should not be going by that path. 1. The tool i.e. Autopilot should only rely on APIs and not on internal details of the unity8 server. 2. We don't want to restart unity8 to enable testability for autopilot to work. Restarting unity8 would only make sense if we were testing unity8 itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1630337 Title: Need DBus API to get current co-ordinates of the Pointer Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The autopilot tool(using evdev) moves the mouse cursor on screen relative to its current position. This works fine in X11 as there are ways to easily get the co-ordinates of the cursor, but under Mir that does not work as we have no way to get the pointer' co-ordinates. We need this API to port autopilot to work under Mir based desktop.
