For all people coming from google

I know this is a old Thread but it is very hard to find a easy solution via Google.

So this is what i have found:

Its a little python script:

from Xlib import X, display
d = display.Display()
s = d.screen()
root = s.root
a=root.query_pointer()
b=a._data
print "x="
print b["root_x"]
print "y="
print b["root_y"]
d.sync()



Just save it as foo.py and run it from CommandLine


found it there (German)
