Using xcb/xinput?

Hey there!

Although documentation is, to some extend, non-existent, I am trying to develop a library, which uses xcb for linux targets. Additionally I am planning to write an article providing some info on the usage of xcb.

So, I am trying to receive input events via the extension 'XInput'. From what I've gathered, I need check whether XInput is available at all and whether the appropriate version is present.

After that, I need to select events by calling `xcb_input_xi_select_events`, which should be enough to receive any XInput event.

The problem is, that in my event loop, the event `XCB_GE_GENERIC` seems to never be propagated.

What am I missing?

Best regards

Julian

P.S.: It's my first time using a mailing list and I hope this is the right place for my question.
