Hi! How can I get continuous motion for the pointer, i.e. that it doesn't stop on the edge of the window (or root window). Is that possible, or do I have to deal with it myself, and warp the pointer to the other side of the window? I want to use pointer motion events to control a camera in my program.

How about reading the mouse cursor, then set it to the middle of the screen?

don't warp the pointer. grabbing it will give you correct continuous motion

Mainly because I don't want to rely on SDL.
What makes you think Xlib is going to become a legacy api?

Unfortunatly it doesn't for me. I get positions from (0,0) - (width, height), if I restrict it to the window, if I don't restrict it, it will go the the edges of the root window, but stop there.

Care to elaborate?

I might do it as suggested by thec..
