Description Christohper Harrington 2007-05-03 22:29:04 UTC
I'm not sure why, but directvnc seems to be broken. No matter what I do, I cannot make it recognize any mouse. Searches on the internet seem to indicate that this is a DirectFB issue, and I pretty much believe it. I'd like to have a USE flag, "nomouse", or similar, to patch one file to disable mouse input (since I don't need it in my application anyway).

Someone out there already did the hard work for me, and made this patch:
http://www.0x90.org/~semen/directvnc-mouse.patch

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge directvnc
2. run directvnc

Actual Results:  
dfb.c <69>:
 (#) DirectFBError [dfb->GetInputDevice( dfb, DIDID_MOUSE, &mouse )]: Requested ID not found!

Expected Results:  
Correct execution.

I don't need mouse control, I bet some others don't either. Please please please can I have a USE flag?

Fixed (as new revision), thanks for the submission!
Note that I reverted your logic: the USE flag is "mouse", not "nomouse".

Perfect, thank you!
