Re: [pygame] How to prevent mouse initialization in Pygame
Why not just programmatically move the mouse offscreen? Or change the mouse cursor to something invisible. Both are easy under wx python, im guessing easy with pygame too. > On Jul 5, 2017, at 4:22 PM, Greg Ewing wrote: > > Роман Мещеряков wrote: >> I instruct pygame to not use X Window server (which, if I understand right, >> should set $DISPLAY environment variable), but to use framebuffer. > > Probably the framebuffer device is owned by root and only allows > access by root.

Re: [pygame] How to prevent mouse initialization in Pygame
Yeah that's not going to work because the attempted imports just fail. If you think having the mouse not initialized might help, change your call to pygame.init() into calls like pygame.display.init().

At least I see no desktop GUI after booting with keyboard connected, just command line login prompt. There is also second reason: I instruct pygame to not use X Window server (which, if I understand right, should set $DISPLAY environment variable), but to use framebuffer. But I think you are right in that ssh console and “real” console are different in some aspects which are important for pygame initialization. By the way, I examined __init__.py file of pygame (on my system it’s located in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygame/) and found out that it imports some modules with self-descriptive names like “key”, “mouse” and “joystick”. Moreover, comments and code in this file told me that these modules are not mandatory. So I renamed “mouse.so”, “key.so” and “joystick.so” in the aforementioned directory. My hope was that this will at least help me to get rid of mouse pointer in the top left corner of the screen or maybe even will let pygame initialize from ssh console without sudo. But, unfortunately, renaming didn’t change anything apart from several warnings printed on each pygame import: pyscopefb.py:2: RuntimeWarning: import joystick: No module named joystick (ImportError: No module named joystick) import pygame pyscopefb.py:2: RuntimeWarning: import key: No module named key (ImportError: No module named key) import pygame pyscopefb.py:2: RuntimeWarning: import mouse: No module named mouse (ImportError: No module named mouse) import pygame
