What x11 header file and function would I use to change the position of the cursor on the display? I have heard there is a straight forward function on Vc++ but I wish to be able to use this on linux.

              You can't trivially port programs from windows to xwindows, at least not without using a cross platform toolkit like gtk+ or Qt.
That said, the most basic way to move the pointer about on X is using the XWarpPointer() method, which is to be had by including X11/Xlib.h
EDIT:
Apparently you are using Qt after all.  you need to use QCursor::setpos which is defined in QCursor

              Ok, thank you. How would you port those to another platform? Only reason for asking is because this is being written in qt and it might save me some time.
