Good morning,
(Fedora-18; 64-bit; all desktops)
I have two 27-inch monitors on my system. Occasionally, I "lose" the cursor.
(ok, who's that that I hear snickering out there?!) I recall years ago (two jobs ago)
on the Unix system at work, we had a tool called "xeyes" which amounted to a
pair of eyes which were always displayed on the monitor and always "followed"
the cursor. It was great. Just what I need now! But when I launch the
"Software" tool on my system and look for xeyes, it doesn't find it. How do
I get xeyes for my 64-bit Fedora-18 system?
thanks,
Bill.
I installed the wmeyes. It works. But I didn't see a way of customizing the size or
position of the eyes.
I installed the "X.Org X11 applications" to get xeyes. It works. I can
customize the position, the size, and the colors of the eyes. This is the solution
I'm going with. To make the eyes show up and work automatically when I log in, I
added the line:
/usr/bin/xeyes &
to my ".bash_profile" twice. Each line has different options so each monitor
has a pair of eyes. One pair would be adequate; two pair is just a personal preference.
Now if only I could make the eyes look blood-shot! :)
Thank-you for your help: Murph, Ed, Ranjan, and Reindl.
Bill.
