DirectFB UI: incorrect cursor tracking behavior #37
Description
I'm using the DirectFB version of freerdp.
Here are my rpms:
directfb-1.2.9-2.fc11.x86_64
tigervnc-0.0.90-0.10.fc11.x86_64
I'm having a problem with the cursor tracking.
When I start dfbfreerdp it starts on port 5900 and waits for a connection.
So I connect using vncviewer :0 and I can see the desktop login screen.
The problem I'm having is that the mouse pointer does not track the
mouse movement properly.
The pointer only moves with X-axis motion.
Here is what the pointer track looks like as you move the mouse back and
forth:
---------------------------------------------- |x | | x | | x | | x | | x | | x | | x | | x | | x | | x | | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx| ----------------------------------------------
I've tried every mouse protocol setting in ~/.directfbrc and they all
follow this pattern.
I did some debugging and the cursor values that are being set by
GetCursorPosition are those of the track diagram which of course are wrong.
Ultimately the DirectFB GetCursorPosition gets down to this code:
653 DFBResult
654 dfb_windowstack_get_cursor_position( CoreWindowStack *stack,
int *ret_x, int *ret_y )
655 {
656 D_DEBUG_AT( Core_WindowStack, "%s( %p, %p, %p )\n",
__FUNCTION__, stack, ret_x, ret_y );
657
658 D_MAGIC_ASSERT( stack, CoreWindowStack );
659 D_ASSUME( ret_x != NULL || ret_y != NULL );
660
661 /* Lock the window stack. */
662 if (dfb_windowstack_lock( stack ))
663 return DFB_FUSION;
664
665 if (ret_x)
666 *ret_x = stack->cursor.x;
667
668 if (ret_y)
669 *ret_y = stack->cursor.y;
670
671 /* Unlock the window stack. */
672 dfb_windowstack_unlock( stack );
673
674 return DFB_OK;
675 }
And this is the only commit (2006) that I see involving cursor handling:
