Well, X is in pretty much the same situation here; it just knows when the mouse moves, or when it did so last time (plus something else happens).
There is a distinct advantage the server has, namely, it knows more detail. So it could do a better job than a client/wm. But still that's far from perfect, which I guess is why reading tea leaves has been left to the client. A possible alternative could be to synthesize inferred proximity from the driver and make $WM use that. This however doesn't exactly solve the problem, is hard to do (especially above the driver), so I guess devs will hate it. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
