Restricted mouse movement?
Hello. I've been thinking that it would be really nice if i was
able to restrict the movement of the mouse to the inside of the Executor
window in X. This would be most useful because i often switch X to a
lower resolution so i can actually see stuff (having a small monitor is
annoying) but keep the virtual resolution set at 1024x768 because it's
faster and most programs expect a large screen. Anyway, if i were to play
something like Lemmings and moved to the mouse to the side of the screen
to scroll the playing field, i would most often move it too far which
would cause the display to scroll over and change the palatte and is
generally annoying.
So is it possible to restrict the movement to the window with the
current version (q12 or beta0)? If not, are there any plans to do this?
The only problem i can see with this is if there weren't any
safegaurds built in in case Executor crashed and you weren't able to move
the mouse to an xterm or something and kill it.
Just a thought. I hope all of that made sense.
Peace...
