Software passing mouse clicks and keystrokes back to X

Post by jkroylance »

I have a remote mouse/keyboard app for my iphone and the PC software can move the mouse but does not pass mouse clicks or keystrokes to applications other than those running under WINE. Does anyone know of any way around this?

Thanks,
Justin

This is by design. Wine does not allow Windows applications to control outside of Wine programs.
