<p class=MsoNormal>I am trying to use xtest to fake keyboard and mouse events.
My daemon seems to connect to X <i>via</i> xcb just fine: <span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xcb_connect(NULL, NULL)</span> returns a
non-NULL <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xcb_window_t</span>. I can
call <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xcb_get_setup</span> and <span
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xcb_setup_roots_iterator</span> and get a
root window handle that agrees with <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xwininfo</span>.
But I am having no luck at all with <span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>xcb_test_fake_input</span>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I call <o:p></o:p></p>
