Advice - don't try and just bolt on a mouse with a hack. reality is to do a mouse, you're doing sprites/overlays and/or compositing (to do it right) so instead of bolting it on with a hack, bite the bullet and work out how to do some proper compositing of images (sprites) off-screen with also retained off-screen content of the screen then transfer any changes on to the screen when done. if you were not using /dev/fb ... i'd even start suggesting you read up about double (and triple) buffering and move to zero-copy swaps... but one step at a time. figure out the whole composition of sprites and content first. :) > On Mon, Feb 17, 2025, 4:49 AM Carsten Haitzler <ras...@rasterman.com> wrote: > > > On Sat, 15 Feb 2025 21:41:37 -0500 Zinful <zinfulperso...@gmail.com> said: > > > > > I'm working on a project currently for college making a shitty GUI.
