Description Peter Hutterer 2021-03-03 05:10:52 UTC 
This bug is merely informative and for the archives. xsetpointer is currently part of xorg-x11-server-utils.

xsetpointer hasn't done anything since Fedora 8. From the upstream readme:

    xsetpointer sets an input device as the core pointer. This dates back to
    when an extension device could not be a core device at the same time and
    is obsolete since server 1.4 (released September 2007).
    The request always fails now (96e32805d12fc36f0fa0926dbfb0dd8a5cadb739).


This utility will be dropped from Fedora without a replacement.
