I am trying to record mouse movements to automate a startup sequence. I
downloaded xnee version 3.0.4 and installed it. There were no errors in
the configure or make or make install. It is installed on CentOS 5.3. I
put the Load "record" line into the Modules section of xorg.conf and
restarted X. I checked the Xorg logs and record did load.
When I try the most simple of tests, I get nothing. I tried this:
cnee --record --mouse --events-to-record 1000
I get the initial output but nothing for mouse movement. The only thing
I have been successful at is if I try to record with the --save-mouse-
position option, when I replay it moves my mouse back to the initial
spot.
Also if I try to use the GUI, it will never reappear. If I use time
instead of a number of events, it never returns. If I use a stop-key, it
doesn't work. The only way I can quit out is with ctrl-c.
Here is the output I do get from the above command:

After this it just sits there until I hit ctrl-c.
What am I missing here?
