Real IR/MPX in freewins

Using X from git-master (which has mpx) + David Reveman's patches for input-redirection. I patched freewins to use IR (though atm it is a rather hack-ish)

Unfortunately I had to use a camera, as gtk-recordMyDesktop was causing kernel panics, and istanbul wouldn't compile (and I didn't feel like trying any more...)

How did you get multiple pointers?

Can you have a different focus to each pointer?

give me links please. It would be so cool to have two keyboards being directed to two separate locations on the same screen.

MPX (use google, as for some reason it won't let me post with the link...)

>Can you have a different focus to each pointer?

Yep

WOW, IR works amazingly with freewins here and Jasper's looking great. Great proof of concepts. Do you think Jasper will replace Emerald eventually. Hasn't been much action with jasper on git.

[joelbosveld]

I'm hoping that jasper will be able to replace emerald, though it still needs lots of work. At the moment I'm doing some rather big changes which should make it easier to implement some features that I want, but have been busy and haven't had much time to finish it up

Wow. Epic. Want it! I'm gonna get it when it's out...and works

[evanjm]

Glad to hear it. It works pretty great at the moment and seems like it will be very light and customizable in the end. Thanks for your hard work.
