multiple keyboard/devices and mice ready for linux

[netpipe]

https://github.com/netpipe/libInput new library I freelanced for Linux to have multiple mice/device and keyboards at the same time. just waiting for a quickfix in cmake and it should be ready. this should go into Irrlicht itself too the windows version is https://github.com/NoobsArePeople2/manymouse maybe combine them somehow. there is also x11 for windows too this might still work there. http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes

Nice, haven't really seen this since Amiga days.

im wondering how hard it would be to render irrlicht in the multi-pointer demo. we could have our own compiz with multiple cursors

thanks to latest svn the libinput made it into Luna engine no issues. only thing left is scripting
//Display* display = XOpenDisplay(NULL);

Display* display = (Display*)Devicelibinput->getVideoDriver()->getExposedVideoData().OpenGLLinux.X11Display;
// int screen = DefaultScreen(display);
Window main_window;
// XSetWindowAttributes window_attrs;
// window_attrs.background_pixel = XWhitePixel(display, screen);
// window_attrs.border_pixel = XBlackPixel(display, screen);
// window_attrs.win_gravity = SouthWestGravity;
main_window = (Window)Devicelibinput->getVideoDriver()->getExposedVideoData().OpenGLLinux.X11Window;//

does irrlicht have support for 9 button mice with the directional wheel mouse buttons like https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0876CHLBY/ < bought one of these and really love it i taped a glue stick to the bottom under the ball to play with the angles a bit and its great sofar very responsive and smooth better than my old logitech trackman.

Currently 3 buttons on Linux and 5 on Windows (if first and second X button means mouse 4 and 5...).
X11 supporting button 4 and 5 would be nice in case someone know how to do it. Not sure how to use more than 5 buttons on Windows as that's all the Windows API seems to support (also never had one with more buttons, so not really sure how the work).

i have this set for mine at the moment and code browsing is very fast.

Code: Select all

#xbindkeys -f ~/.xbindkeysrc 
#sudo apt-install xdotool xbindkeys

# Mouse Button #8 
# Show Gnome overview  
"xdotool key Page_Up"
     b:9

# Mouse Button #9
# Show all applications
"xdotool key Page_Down"
     b:8
     
# Mouse Button #8 
# Show Gnome overview  
"xdotool key Page_Up"
     b:6

# Mouse Button #9
# Show all applications
"xdotool key Page_Down"
