My project is to create a user monitoring application, if the user is not using keyboard mouse for a fixed time ,some part of application have to be stopped. I created it for windows and MacOs successfully. I created it for linux platform with
#define MOUSEFILE "/dev/input/event4"
#define MOUSEMOVEFILE "/dev/input/js1"
#define KEYBOARDFILE "/dev/input/event0"
above method. This method is working in RaspberryPi OS -Desktop version successfully,But it fails in ubantu. So thats why i am giving a trial in "<X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h>" method
