The X server has always had an issue with time stamps assigned to key presses: they are always relative to when the X server started. This makes it very difficult to compare when a key was pressed to some other event, even on the same PC. I am curious if there is some mechanism that has crept into X that resolves this situation. I know that network-based games have a problem with this because it is difficult to sequence key strokes generated on different systems. The closest I have seen it a hack that does a virtual keypress in the X system, and syncs time using that. While it is an improvement, it still has the problems of X server delays. I ask on this list because perhaps there is some better way to derive this information using tools provided with openSUSE. If I could only ask the X server what the base time was it is using for these relative time stamps... -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
