I have written a program which reads mouse strokes drawn with the mouse or whatever pointer device. I have found that it's limited by the sampling speed that X devotes to the mouse pointer. on the Pentium pro 200 that I have at home running Linux, this speed is much faster than the UltraSparc I have at work running Solaris 2.5 under Openwin. I would like to get X to sample the mouse pointer more frequently. in other words, I would like X to deliver events from the mouse more frequently. I tried: % xset m 1 0 which slowed the mouse down (and was helpful in some ways), but this is not really what I wanted. I wanted to be able to move the mouse just as fast and get more points along the way. I don't know if this is an X issue, a window manager problem, etc. If you know something, please help. I'm trying to find the highest-level fix (i.e. something that doesn't require recompiling X, etc) dave
