Screenshots and videos of MPX in action.

ClientPointer principle: The ClientPointer principle reduces ambiguity in the core protocol.

Older screenshots:

GIMP: Using the GIMP with two mice simultaneously.
xeyes: Four instances of xeyes.
18 cursors simultaneously: 18 mice operating simultaneously.

All the older screenshots were taken with xwd. Please note that the cursors are artificially rendered by the window manager. The xwd utility does not capture the mouse cursor. Since MPX 0.11 the cursors are rendered by MPX and not rendered by the window manager anymore.

Annotation overlays: A screenshot from a firefox session with the overlay enabled.
