[comp.windows.x] multiple input devices in X

TM_RAJAN@VAX.ACS.OPEN.AC.UK (03/07/91)

Hi,

I have been informed that one of the facilities being extended in X11 is
the area of multiple input devices.  I'm interested in the use of multiple
input devices for groupware.  The question I have is whether the work on
input devices will cover multiple cursors on one display.  The functionality
I am looking for needs to support shared windows onto shared data, where
each window displays the mouse cursor being used by other members who are
viewing the shared window.

Any help will be gratefully received.

If the extensions do not support the above, does anyone know of any work
in this area.

Thanks

Tim Rajan
