Rotated monitor problem

[ural89]

My monitor is flipped horizontal. This wasn't problem before for bisect mode. After update (0.4.0), when I click somewhere it will click symmetrical to horizontal and also vertical. I'm assuming this is problem because of my rotated monitor.
I use arch linux, hyprland

Indeed, this is an issue introduced with ef719e9 (see #41).

I've just tried the latest release of wl-kbptr with a rotated output (90) on Sway, niri, dwl, labwc and Hyprland and it works with each of them except Hyprland. The issue is that it doesn't handle output transformation the same way as the other one in the wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1 protocol.

Given that they all handle output transformations the same with the exception of Hyprland, I think it would be reasonable to submit this issue to them.

I see, thanks.
I think this can be worked around fairly easily by checking the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable and skipping rotation handling when it's set to "Hyprland". I’ve opened a pull request with this approach, in case you'd like to consider it.

I have the same issue on River, so the problem is not just Hyprland.

River's issue is different. It the same as Wayfire (#56). They just don't handle the output argument (river/InputManager.zig:173). Please open an issue with them.

The issue I'm having with River doesn't match #56. It matches this report. The issue occurs with one rotated monitor, not with multiple monitors. I can also predict where the cursor will go. For example, selecting the bottom right will put the cursor in the bottom left, selecting the bottom left will but the cursor in the top left, selecting the top left will put the cursor in the top right, selecting the top right will put the cursor in the bottom right. The positions are literally rotated.

Well, I guess you now have two issues to open with them now. Unless of course you want to convince all the other ones to change the way they implemented the protocol.
