I already tried xdotool but comand is not working while as when i hit the
comand from terminal directly it works fine but when written in autostart
it does not do anything
Now the only possiblity is that i am doing it wrong in autostart
Can u plz help how it should be done in autostart the comand is

export DISPLAY=:0.0 && xdotool move mouse 15805  370
