Re: Re: winex-devel Digest, Vol 4, Issue 21

In theory it is possible with DGA - however that's a huge piece of crap 
that I wouldn't touch with a 200 meter pole.

Quite some time ago (2002 I think) I talked to several of the XFree86 
developers (now they are freedesktop.org developers) about it, and they 
do agree that an extension is needed - however they believe that it is 
not worth creating an extension just for this purpose - and think it 
would  be better to create an X extension that provides all sorts of 
new input functionality.

Of course, I haven't looked into this since then (and then it was only 
a cursory look), so something may be available of which I am not aware.

Cheers

David
