Well, I have a halfway working version of the GPM code using connect_to_file_descriptor() - it gets and reads events. And you can turn gpm-mode on and off and have it do the right thing. The only problem is that I am using Fdispatch_event() after creating an event and filling in the structures. Like this: ----- fake_event = Fmake_event (Qnil, Qnil); event = XEVENT(fake_event); event->timestamp = 0; event->channel = Fselected_frame (Qnil); /* CONSOLE_SELECTED_FRAME (con); */ if (ev.modifiers & 1) modifiers |= MOD_SHIFT; if (ev.modifiers & 2) modifiers |= MOD_META; if (ev.modifiers & 4) modifiers |= MOD_CONTROL; if (ev.modifiers & 8) modifiers |= MOD_META; [...] /* Handle the event */ Fdispatch_event (fake_event); Fdeallocate_event (fake_event); GPM_DRAWPOINTER(&ev); return (Qzero); ----- For one thing, you never really get to see the GPM pointer except for a lot of flickering, I think because redisplay happens immediately after the 'process output' is handled. Also, I get all sorts of weird errors like: (3) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error Selection aborted) (4) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (wrong-type-argument integerp #<INTERNAL OBJECT (XEmacs bug?) (symbol-value-forward type 13) 0x822037c>) I think the selection aborted is because of the process events getting there when it thinks a mouse button is depressed, but I don't know for sure. Any ideas? -Bill P.
