[KLUG Members] Re: Dual-Head KDE, Mouse and Touchscreen

[John Pesce]

I'm revisiting a prior topic that didn't seem to get resolved on KDE
forums. I  have dual video cards to run two monitors. One monitor
is a touchscreen and the other is a plain CRT.

I've setup the touchpanel as the primary pointer device.
I've setup the mouse as an aditional pointer device.

They can both move the pointer. When I touch the touchscreen the
pointer moves to where I touched, but if I want to move the mouse to
the CRT I have to move it from the touchscreen side.

I need to somehow devide/separate the two displays. I need the touchpanel
to only control the touchscreen side. I also need the mouse to stay only
on the CRT side, (i.e. not move to the touchscreen when I touch it)

I realize that there is only one keyboard and it must send keystrokes to
the active console. Likewise, whichever mouse was moved last is the mouse
that should have focus. But I need to have two mouse pointers, one for
each screen, that don't move from screen to screen. Does this make sense?

i.e. if I move the mouse over a button on the CRT. Then touch something on
the touchscreen. The left click the mouse. I expect the button I was over
on the CRT to be pushed, without having to move the pointer back over the
button from the touchscreen.
