the first is a patch to mplayer, that adds a -grabmouse option (grabmouse=0 in the config file) so mplayer doesn't grab the cursor anymore. and (by pure chance) it doesn't unpause when any key is pressed.
It works fine! It could be considered to add the patch to mplayer cvs.
hmmm, i don't think it worked perfectly (the option stuff in (iirc) cfg-mplayer.h for example), so someone how knows how options work should correct it first. and i don't know x, so perhaps there is a better way to do it. i just searched for something mousy and removed it.
i hope that helps.
Yes, but some other cvs commit changed the -vm behaviour. mplayer cvs (updated just now) does:
-vm with -vo x11 (and -fs -zoom) renders the movie in the full desktop resolution, whether a smaller resolution/viewport is selected or not.
i don't use -zoom, i have 'vop=scale=648:-2' in my config, so it scales to the width of the viewable part of the 720x480.
-vm with -vo x11 (and -fs) crashes mplayer:
--- cut --- XF86VM: Selected video mode 640x480 for image size 640x272. X11 error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: decode_video --- cut ---
i never had any crashes (with cvs from about the time i wrote the mail). but then, i haven't used -vm since i added the scale option.
but _not_ when I use strace to check what happens before the crash. With strace it works just fine. Funny.
i had that sometimes, too. annoying, and i can't remember what the problem was. but gdb should help in those cases. bye christian ohm -- So this is it. We're going to die.
