Hi, I’m a developer for XBMC for linux and I’ve looked high and low for a
possibility to have fullscreen not take full controll of mouse (keyboard
might be good aswell).
I suspect this is by design or otherwise this would already be in but there
are a number of good posibilities for XBMC to be able to be able to.
XBMC is a htpc software and a few people want to run this in dualhead mode
and these often use a LIRC or bluetooth device to controll XBMC and they
want to be able to use the other screen as is.
If SDL could let go of either mouse or keyboard (or both if that is the only
option) that would have made life alot easier for these users.
As said I suppose this isn’t possible but I wanted to send a mail and see if
anyone knows of a solution or just to let you know that there is usage for
it 
Thanks alot for a wonderfull library

Try:
SDL_WM_GrabInput( SDL_GRAB_OFF );
Don’t know if it works in fullscreen.
I have tried that and I had little sucess unfortuanatly, seems to only work
window mode.On Sun, May 25, 2008 at 11:47 AM, Iori Branford wrote:

Just curious - are you using 1.2 or 1.3?
I wonder if behaviour is different between them (1.3 is designed with
explicit multi-head support)?
As 1.3 is still in development, it would probably be possible (and I
guess desirable) to add this…
