Mouse positioning during startup
H. Beek
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

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.

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.

Ernie

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 :)

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,

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 :)

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. :)
