[opensuse-kde] tool to show mouse position / coordinates
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). -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz

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.
