X11 Programming

[glitch83]

Wow. Talk about a serious lack of documentation. I've been searching for how to get the mouse position and the screen resolution for about 2 hours now. x.org is a wiki and directs all development inquiries to it's own development wiki pages.

More specifically - Does anyone have an x.org equivalent for GetCursorPos and GetSystemMetrics from Win32 development?

We're trying to port code and documentation has been a serious issue here.

Is there any reason you're using X11 directly?
Would it not make much more sense to port the code to GTK2 or Qt?

I suspect this page might be somewhat old, but it's quite through. (I'm stuck at colour managment though.)
