mouse not working in fullscreen mode

Post by csturm »

hey guys!

I am running scunmvm 0.9.0 on ubuntu edgy (unstable), and if i switch to fullscreen mode the mouse is no longer working. I can see the mouse pointer in the lower right corner of the screen, so it looks like the mouse driver is returning much too high coordinates. switching back to windowed solves the problem again.

and sometimes in one out of 100 cases it even works in fullscreen.

anyone have an idea how i could debug this?

thanks
chris

Same Problem for me !

Post by MoiCJarod »

Hi !

A have got exactly the same problem with my Kubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 ... with either KDE or XFce ... in fullscreen, as soon as I move the mouse, it goes in the bottom right corner and cannot be moved from there ... until I switch off fullscreen.

I am on a laptop using my touchpad if it can help finding the problem.

Thank you

RESOLVED !(well err ... I find a way to make it work ...;-))

How to get round the bug :

- launch scummvm ;
- put it in windowed mode ;
- make your mouse pointer go in the window then out of the window ;
- put it back in fullscreen.

then mouse is working :-)

Found Why

Post by MoiCJarod »

I found why it wasn't working, my fglrx drivers (ATI) were not installed, I still was with Mesa drivers. Once installed, no problem :-)

Nice catch! I also found this issue a few weeks ago, and used the same pseudo-solution as you. When I saw this thread I tried to reproduce it (to try to make a fix) but I couldn't. I didn't know why, but it should be that I installed the ATI drivers some days before. When I have free time I'll try to fix it (going back to mesa and seeing what's wrong there).
