Subject: [android-porting] Mouse cursor:issue with dispatchPointer

Hello,

I have applied the mouse cursor patch for android-x86 from here
http://git.android-x86.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=commitdiff;h=41d38532eb9cc8a3bf6742abb344d86cd40639f1

I am not able to see the mouse cursor, and I see these messages in Logcat while moving the mouse, which suggest that dispatchPointer() in WindowManagerService.java
is always dispatching wrong co-ordinates which are out of screen (720 x 480), and hence cursor is not visible.

Can I get some pointers to what might be going wrong?

regards
-Nitin

05-07-2009 updated mouse cursor patch to fix the merge conflict. You need three things to make cursor to work:

1. 0001-1.-enabled-power-mgt.patch, this patch has the fix for the power sysfs path. With this patch, you will be able to put Android to sleep. But there is a bug that causes machine to not wake up. Current work around is to set the screen timeout to never timeout.
2. 0001-1.-added-mouse-cursor.patch, this has implementation for mouse cursor.
3. enable wake lock in kernel config
