Re: dogtail Dogtail 0.8.0beta5 negative values for Position

[Manish Katoche <mkatoche nvidia com>]

Hi Vitezslav, 

thanks to your valuable inputs, we were able to get to root of the issue ( issue was with resman of hardware :) ). it works like charm now.
I have one more query, is there way to disconnect dogtail from dbusa after operation? I get g_dbus_connection_real_closed when I close X server on remote machine after using dogtail.

thanks,
Manish K Katoch

Oh, also, you can upgrade from 0.8.0beta5 as the 0.8.0 final
was recently released :) Look for it at [1] (or just yum update
if you use Fedora 16 or 17)

Thanks,
Vita
