Hi all,
(I appologise if this is not exactly the right place to ask,) are there any fpc projects/examples/demos/whatever using x11 units rather than wrapping to some toolkits?
I've looked through contribs and found none.
Any hints or refs appreciated.

I'm traing to test if there is some input
bytes ready in stdin. When i try this with normal
file, all is ok - SelectText function from Linux unit give me n>0 if any character is ready.

When i try with file 'input', SelectText give me 0 until 2 lines are entered. How to go round this
without using old and more low-level libs like crt ?

------- test program -------

program test;
uses Linux;
var n:longint; w:char; TV:TimeVal;
begin
 TV.sec:=0; TV.usec:=0;
 repeat
  n:=SelectText(input,@TV);
  if n>0 then begin
    read(w); write(w);
    write('[',n,']');
  end;
 until eof(input);
end.

--------- test results: ----------

1234
abcd
1[1]2[1]3[1]4[1]
[1]ABCD
a[1]b[1]c[1]d[1]
[1]

--------- must be: ---------------

1234
1[1]2[1]3[1]4[1]
[1]abcd
a[1]b[1]c[1]d[1]
[1]ABCD

----------------------------------

hello,

I've written a small example program that opens a window, displays a rotating line, listens for mouse movement and keyboard messages and displays mouse positions and key codes. The program uses (imports) just X, Xlib, and Linux.

I have not yet included timers, so I still use delays, and the program consumes much of the CPU performance.

If you want to have a copy, just send me an email.

Best regards,

hello,

you can use 'select', look at the man page.

hth,

Hi,

Ok. Thanks for replying.
I've just finished something like that, but even simpler. Approx one page of code. (I mean, it also works ;)
And, it looks like xlib.pp is not quite valid. For example, TXPointer is used almost everywhere instead of PXPointer, which breaks stuff. As far as I understood, x11 package is pure autotranslated, so no big surprise. I just wonder how do people use it?
Question 1: Is anyone going to fix it?
Question 2: If no, should I submit patches?

For file 'input' effect is the same - select
return nonzero value after the second Enter !
