	I need some help regarding the use of XWarpPointer.  
	
	I'm controlling the pointer position by reading in data from
the serial port.  The data I'm receiving is the absolute coordinates
of the desired cursor position.  The position of the pointer is to be 
based solely on the data coming in from the serial port, disregarding 
any movements the mouse might make.  But I still would like to use the
three buttons on the mouse.

	XWarpPointer works fine in controlling the pointer, but it
fails when I press the button in the RootWindow.  I suspect that 
XGrabPointer was used, and the process is waiting for events from 
the real mouse.  How can I substitute the motion events of the mouse 
with the data I'm receiving from the serial ports?

	Please mail me any ideas you might have as I don't read this 
news very often.

	Thank you.
