So I tested out more about the mouse control getting messed up in virtual input mode - It's a minor compatibility bug.
It seems to be caused by running synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) on my machine. I get the problem on both XP and Vista when running them as a server. It happens with all pygame versions I tested (1.7.1 through 1.8.1pre) and is probably actually an SDL and synergy compatibility issue. I made a pygame bugzilla entry for it, just for tracking purposes: http://pygame.motherhamster.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15 On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 7:42 PM, Lenard Lindstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, ahh, Windows 98. > > Lenard > > > Brian Fisher wrote: > >> Sounds like it works fine for you - what OS is that? >> >> On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 9:45 AM, Lenard Lindstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto: >> [EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: >> >> I definitely don't have Vista and the only peculiarity I see is >> that mouse position jumps when visibility is toggled.
