Mouse pointer doesn't move horizontally on linux (Arch x86_64) #15

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile gmote successfully on linux 
2. Run server / set password
3. Run client / connect to server / enable Gmote touch

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected:
See the mouse pointer moving correctly.
Current:
The pointer only moves vertically, stays on the right side of the screen, 
clicks and keyboard works though.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

ARCH-x86_64 2.6.35 / run on KDE 4.5.1 / X11 10.801 / T-mobile pulse with Froyo 
/ Gmote 2.0

Am I missing some Xorg.conf settings?

I'm encountering the same issue. Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop edition, Gmote 2.0. 
GNOME. Exactly the same steps, exactly the same issue.

Same issue. Linux 2.6.35-28-generic #49-Ubuntu x86_64 GNU/Linux. GNOME. Dual 
screen setup using TwinView. Mouse is stuck on the right-most side and only 
moves vertically. Everything else seems to work fine.
Note also that I had the exact same issue with RemoteDroid, so the cause could 
be deeper down.

Same, stuck on the right side of the screen, moves vertically, not 
horizontally. Ubuntu 11.04, Gnome 2.32.1.

anyone found a fix to this yet?

Weird this is it was working for me. Have been playing a lot with nvidia 
drivers (installing CUDA). May be related. 

Also on TwinVeiw duel monitor setup. Also stuck to right most pixel column on 
screen. Alo moves up and down, but not left-right. Most other features work, 
although browsing to a file fails.

You guys are all using multiple monitors aren't you? I find the bug only 
happens then. Use only 1 monitor, and the mouse works perfectly.

The bug appears to be in Java itself, function Robot.mouseMove() - even though 
it is passed valid coordinates, the mouse jumps to the rightmost edge of the 
combined screen.

A possible workaround could be using one Robot for each screen with each Robot 
being created by the constructor that takes a GraphicsDevice, and then calling 
the mouseMove() method only on the Robot for the appropriate screen.

Another good question is: does this happen on Windows? MacOS?

The Robot() constructor says:
"Constructs a Robot object in the coordinate system of the primary screen."

But the primary screen is NOT necessarily the screen whose top-left corner has 
coordinates (0,0).

This means that coordinates passed to robot.mouseMove() are NOT in the same 
coordinate space as coordinates obtained from MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().

A translation is thus necessary from the mouse's absolute coordinates, to 
coordinates relative to the primary screen.

The attached patch does that, and fixes the problem.

Otherwise, thank you for this awesome app, I love it, and hope it works better 
for everyone with my patch :).

great damjan that patch works wonders.

Just for the record, RandR 1.3 added an option to set the primary output. just 
use

xrandr --output $DEVICE --primary

Gnome and KDE should have same gui to set primary monitor as well.
