I look in the source what is going on when fullscreen was activated.
I find out that freevo uses pygame code to do that. And in the pygame code
you find that pygame uses SDL code. So is not pygame but SDL what is the
problem.
SDL version is 1.2.8
I think the function X11_EnterFullScreen in file SDL_x11modes couses the
problem.
I hope some of you knows what to do :-).
In the mean time, no fullscreen mode for freevo.

René van Dorst

With this patch pygame will fail to import module "pygame.mouse".
However I have tried to cut off import pygame.mouse in
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py
to force not to load mouse module.
Also I cut off all pygame.mouse.* calls from freevo.
No luck. Mouse still lives and is locked in freevo window.
So the conclusion is that mouse is initialized even we don't init
python mouse module.
One more investigation - SDL_NOMOUSE environment variable is only used
in some SDL frame buffer drivers and have no effect to x11 or xv.
Looks like there is no way to disable mouse, not in pygame, and seems
to me, not in SDL. The only way to disable it is xorg.conf, but this
will disable mouse on all displays and is not a reasonable solution.
Alternative investigation direction is not disable mouse, but free from
window locking. I found some strange pygame method:
http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame_event.html#set_grab
pygame.event.set_grab(bool) -> None
Grabs all mouse and keyboard input for the display.
Grabbing the input is not neccessary to receive keyboard and mouse
events,
but it ensures all input will go to your application.
It also keeps the mouse locked inside your window.
Set the grabbing on or off with the boolean argument.
It is best to not always grab the input, since it prevents the end user
from
doing anything else on their system.
I have tried to call pygame.event.set_grab(0) somewhere after
pygame.mouse.set_visible(1) in osd.py. But still no luck.
Any other ideas?
