Greetings,
Firstly, let me thank you for the excellent tool that Xnee is. I'm
quite impressed by the flexibility.
I am writing to ask for some help using Xnee with Xvfb. I have been
using Xnee successfully to record and playback sessions on Xnest sessions.
However, when I attempt to replay the same events on an Xvfb display,
Xvfb seems to ignore motion/mouse/keyboard events. Using xwd and xwud,
I can see that the display presents the windows and whatnot as I start
them remotely; but they do not appear to receive keyboard and mouse events.
Any thoughts? Here is a simple test to reproduce the problem.
My setup:
Centos 4.4, using xorg-X11 Xnest and Xvfb 6.8.2.
cnee --version reports:
address@hidden ~]$ cnee --version
Xnee 2.05

How to reproduce:
I started an Xnest session under my existing GUI for recording:
Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 1024x768 &
Start an xterm in that display:
xterm -display :1 &
Start the recording:
cnee --display :1 --record -o test.xnl --mouse --keyboard --time 5
Mouse to the xterm in the Xnest window, click on it to gain focus
(probably not necessary since no WM is running), and type some stuff
(pwd, ls -l, etc)
Ctrl+C in the cnee record shell.
Okay... Time for replay into the Xvfb...
I can setup the Xvfb session exactly the same with:
Xvfb :3 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x16 &
xterm -display :3 &
At this point I used xwd to determine that the xterm had indeed started,
and was located in the same position:
xwd -root -out t.xwd -display :3
xwud -in t.xwd
... and it looks fine, ready for action;
I then replay the file:
cnee -v --display :3 --replay --file test.xnl
(cnee provides some output showing it executes the events...)
And use xwd/xwud to snapshot and review Xvfb's display:
xwd -root -out t.xwd -display :3
xwud -in t.xwd
...And nothing has happened in the xterm.
Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated! I have attached my example
xnl file 'test.xnl' from above.
Thank you in advance, and cheers,
Josh
