XCB Pointer Coordinates are Stuck at (0,0)

I have implemented a Wayland compositor (via wlroots) in a game engine that is equipped with XWayland/XCB support for X apps. When I launch xev, it seems to receive ButtonNotify events just fine (so I can type just fine in windows). It also receives MotionNotify events every frame, but the problem is that its coordinates are stuck at the origin!

# This repeats every frame when I mouse over windows:

MotionNotify event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x400001,
    root 0x29c, subw 0x0, time 1275037533, (-2,-2), root:(0,0),
    state 0x0, is_hint 0, same_screen YES

Note that:

My game engine handles all of the cursor stuff, so I omit explicitly creating a cursor through XCB/XWayland (though have tried to add one, and it doesn't seem to fix the coordinate issue).
I've tried sending hard coded coordinates to my window to no avail. Nothing seems to update its X coordinates (I've tried through xwayland facilities as well as through direct xcb_warp_pointer calls).
I have verified via the WAYLAND_DEBUG=server flag that the coordinates are successfully being sent over the wayland wire with the proper coordinates every frame in between frame calls.

I know that abstracted of all other details it is very hard to debug this problem, but what I am curious about is if there is some well-known thing that needs to get initialized before pointer events can be updated. Because my compositor is so stripped down (the game engine handling most things), is there something that I need to get pointer updates working that I don't realize I need?

To make my question more concrete: What state must be initialized in XCB before pointer motion can be something besides (0,0)?

EDIT: Here is some xev log data to see what state I might be missing:

Solution

The issue was that the XWayland's screen had a width_in_pixels == height_in_pixels == 0. This was forcing all pointer motion to (0,0). Forcing the screen's initialization area to be positive fixed this issue.
