In OrbiterLinux there are 2 new functions:
X_LockDisplay() and X_UnlockDisplay(); which should be used before and after calling X11/SDL functions which update the display, or change the mouse position
Example:
class_name::some_drawing_function() {
OrbiterLinux *pOrbiterLinux = dynamic_cast<OrbiterLinux *>(pOrbiter); // or, better, make a member variable from pOrbiterLinux, // and initialize it before this function would be called
// non-critical code
if (pOrbiterLinux)
pOrbiterLinux->X_LockDisplay();
// critical code here
if (pOrbiterLinux)
pOrbiterLinux->X_UnlockDisplay();
// non-critical code
}
The dynamic_cast should return NULL only if you are not compiling the Linux version.
