- Disable the DOpE mouse pointer in the L4Linux console window.
Why do you want to do this? Dope is your (secure) GUI and it should always be able to indicate its focus and the mouse position. What does X11 with the mouse cursor if you write an email?
Well, it's quite difficult to pull down menus because the two mouse pointers do not overlay and the DoPE mouse pointer cannot leave the (active) L4Linux console window.
That changes everything - I thought you were talking about Linux _console_ applications on L4Linux's _console_ :-)
Nonetheless, you could hack dope to not only "grab" the mouse, but also "make it invisible".
Unfortunately this won't solve the problem stated above.
Yes, that's annoying. I always use a combination of "xset m 0 0" and moving the cursor into the upper left corner. We have no better solution so far. An L4Linux and X driver for absolute coordinates would solve this issue but is not as easily available as the current one.
- Resize the L4Linux console window without just stretching it.
To change this, the L4Linux console stub must be modified. As we only use one stub for l4con (fixed resolution) and dope, we will not implement such a feature. A modified stub would try to adapt to window size changes (hopefully) propagated by dope.
Maybe I am going to take a look in a spare minute. A q&d hack might do the job, don't you think?
Be free to modify dope at will. I suggest to begin with dope/server/common/vscreen.c.
Hm, this seems to be a low latency list - thank you!
Latency will increase the next two days and on next Wednesday ;-)
