Hello list, I have written a simple GUI program in Python for configuring MPX. It can be used to create and delete master pointers, and to move hardware input devices between master pointers. As far as I know, there is no other program that does precisely this job (besides the xinput utility itself.)
It works by emitting xinput commands. It is written for Python 2.7 and wxPython 2.8. It seems to work pretty well, although there may still be bugs. A more detailed README, source code, a screenshot are available on the GitHub page for the project: https://github.com/Max-E/xinput-ui Hopefully someone will find it useful. However, there is one major gap in the functionality still, namely the ability to save the configuration permanently, or better yet, save multiple profiles of different pointer configurations. Right now, you need to set up the MPX configuration every time you reboot. I could fairly easily have xinput-ui generate a shell script based on the current pointer configuration, which can be run to duplicate that configuration at a later time. That's what I'll do if there isn't a better way. But is there a standard way to do this? Thanks and enjoy, -Max Eliaser _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
