Hi there,

does anyone know a tool that shows the coordinates of the current mouse
position? I looked at KDE4 and Compiz, but found no such thing, but I'm
sure there is.

What do you mean, show coordinates? If you want to see the position of the
cursor, KWin has a compositing effect that marks the position when you
press Ctrl+Meta, and I think Compiz has something like that too. If you
really want the coordinates, the attached small utility can print it (gcc
a.c -lX11 -o mousepos).

Exactly, the position of the mouse and X- and Y- data is what I was looking
for. Thanx for your little hack! It works nice. I did not find such a thing at
Compiz, looked everywhere.

Regards
Malte
