I was using xdotool a few months ago and everything worked perfectly. I tried the same commands today and it doesn’t work anymore.

When I try xdotool getmouselocation, I always get the same answer: x:1435 y:800 screen:0 window:8388629, wherever my mouse is located. Also, when I try xdotool mousemove 100 100, for example, my mouse doesn’t move. However, it seems like a ‘virtual mouse’ has moved, since now, when I try xdotool getmouselocation, I always get x:100 y:100 screen:0 window:8388629.

I have the same issue with the keyboard commands, for example, xdotool key alt+Tab won’t switch windows.

I have no idea of anything special I could have changed on my system since these commands were working.
