Yes, but then I'd depend on libxcb (or have to dive into dlopen and friends). > Simplest thing (although kind of hideous) might be to launch another > thread with its own Display connection and only ever run XQueryPointer > from that, save the coordinates in some shared variable protected by a > mutex, and read from that in the main thread.

It's used once per frame for 3d movement (yeh, game). A thread might work. Attaching a bench app I've used in tracking this down. Run it with some apps open (browser, IRC client, some terminals...) and watch the max number. Perhaps it'll help, I don't remember how long running a x11perf test took. -- - Lauri
