Hi,
[a patch that adds a -nograbpointer option] It works fine! It could be considered to add the patch to mplayer cvs.
I upgraded to the latest cvs recently, and still mplayer does not have an option to disable mouse pointer grabbing. Christian Ohms patch still applies, and still works fine. It's extremely useful for people like me who use a multi-head X setup to watch movies on the TV. With this patch, I can work on screen :0.0 and my wife can watch divx movies on screen :0.1 and control mplayer with the remote. Without this patch, I cannot move the mouse back to :0.0 if I use the -vm option, and I need this option. Is there a special reason why this patch was not put in cvs, or did it just get ignored? Keep up your fantastic work! Magnus
