Subject: Mouse positioning during startup
First of all, great job! This is an ideal kiosk solution for me. And
even though I'm not a linux guru I managed to creat and build this
thing :)

One thing I would like to know: is it possible to position the mouse
pointer at a certain location on the screen after booting (like in a
corner)?

Thx & regards,

Ernie

Hi there Ernie,

Now you can say you've created an operating system. ;)

Yes it's possible.

Btw a Xorg utility called "unclutter" already runs by default on
Webconverger. That should hide the cursor after a couple of minutes of
inactivity.

Kind regards,

Hi Kai,

My first self created OS, cooool :)

Thanks for the answer. I'll first try to get that done my self.
I found out about the unclutter but the thing was that the webpage it
is showing (just showing, no user interaction) has a scrolling windows
in the center that stops scrolling when the mouse pointer is on top of
it.........
(took me half a day to figure out why just that one window in the
center wasn't doing anything :-~ )

Thanks again.

Regards,

Ernie

Hi Kai,

Been looking at xwarppointer and found a package called xwit. With
that it seems easy to move the pointer: xwit -warp 0 0

The thing is, how do I integrate that when running a build. Like make
sure the packet is there and adding that command somewhere when the OS/
browser is starting......
As said I'm a long way from being a Linux guru, just know enough to be
dangerous at times :)

Regards,

Ernie

Tbh for the next release, Webconverger 12 I was considering a
documented location where xwit/xrandr tweaks would be invoked. Since
some customers need screen portrait orientated for example.

I haven't done this yet. For now I usually lazily copy in pb.sh into
./webconverger/config/includes.chroot/home/webc/pb.sh and edit the
file.

Good news is I should be full time on Webconverger from next week and
I'll add this.

Kind regards,

Ok, so I just take something like:
http://git.webconverger.org/?p=webconverger-base;a=blob;f=home/webc/p...
Add the commands at an apropriate place and slap it in there.
Is it that simple?

Good luck next week, looking forward to your newest creations :)

Kind regards,

Ernie

Actually https://github.com/Webconverger/base/blob/master/home/webc/pb.sh
on github. I'll de-commission git.webconverger.org soonish.

Adding xrandr commands around line 12 should work nicely, for now.

Thanks, though please play around and contribute any tips/patches to
improve Webconverger. :)

Kind regards,

If I think I can provide a useful contribution I most certainly will:)
