Date: Sat, 06 Dec 2008 15:27:00 +0100 From: Couriersud Subject: SDL: Relative mouse movements The patch below will reenable processing of relative mouse movements. The DirectFB drivers generates those in "grabbed" mode. These ensure, that even in fullscreen mode relative movements are reported. SDLMAME depends on this for games with trackballs. Looking at the code I ask myself whether relative movements should be handled in the drivers (x11, directfb). Both x11 and directfb are able to report relative movements. This would leave it to the driver to use the most appropriate method for relative movements when at the border of a fullscreen window or being "grabbed".

>The system window manager event contains a pointer to system-specific 
information about unknown window manager events.  If you enable this event
using 
<A
HREF="sdleventstate.html"
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_EventState()</TT
></A
>, 
it will be generated whenever unhandled events are received from the window 
manager.  This can be used, for example, to implement cut-and-paste in your 
application.

         Uint8 type;   /* Always SDL_SYSWMEVENT */

If you want to obtain system-specific information about the window manager,
you can fill the version member of a <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>SDL_SysWMinfo</SPAN
> 
structure (details can be found in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SDL_syswm.h</TT
>, which must be included) using the <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_VERSION()</TT
> macro found in 
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>SDL_version.h</TT

function:
