SDL: Mouse doesn't work right in full screen.

Description

* ScummVM version: 0.10.0svn July 22 2006 * Bug details: When running scummvm on my pda with X11, the mouse cursor looses sync with the stylus often leaving the curse off to the side of where I touch. This only occurs when using the fullscreen option in options. If I leave fullscreen unchecked then the mouse works flawlessly. This happens in every game I've tried so far.

The cursor initially is correct, the problem begins to occur when the cursor touches any of the edges of the snree.

* Platform and Compiler: arm-linux-gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 I am running with SDL-1.2.7

This would be a bug in SDL, or maybe one in your system's drivers, but is quite unlikely to be caused by ScummVM itself.

Maybe updating to a newer version of SDL will help, though (1.2.11 is current, and 1.2.7 was released in Februrar 2004).

comment:3 by SF/hatchetman1618, 18 years ago

I tried other SDL applications and tried to reproduce the effect without any luck. They also had full screen options, but did not mess up the cursor. I suspected it might be the mouse scaling in scummvm that gets confused for some reason when in fullscreen. Maybe that confusion comes from a bug in SDL. If you have any suggestions of how I could verify it one way or the other I would be happy to experiment.

My screen is 640x480, which is the size of the scummvm program window. When I switch to full screen, the size of the window doesn't get any bigger, just appears on top of my task bar. Could it be relevent that switching from windowed mode to full screen mode when not actually changing size causes a problem with the math?

Another thing I've noticed on my desktop is there is no apparent way to tell if the problem is actually occuring. You only see the scummvm cursor, and my eyes would never see an offset with the real mouse cursor. On my PDA the stylus touching in the same place, I expect the scummvm cursor in the same place and can tell when it's not.

I did some testing on my desktop machine using NX (I think VNC will accomplish the same thing) so that I could see the placement of the mouse as it reached the edges of the screen. The problem does become pretty apparent when you move the cursor in and out of the remote window.

Did you try to use Ctrl-m to toggle the mouse capture mode?

comment:7 by SF/hatchetman1618, 18 years ago

When I was reading through the code trying to find a solution there was some code to adjust the mouse input scale to the scale of the game on screen. That's what I suspected. The problem ONLY occurs when I put ScummVM into full screen mode. Leaving it windowed and it works perfectly. Cntrl-m did not work on my PDA, however I don't recall if I tried it on the PC.

comment:8 by fingolfin, 17 years ago

Actually, from what you describe, the problem is not at all due to mouse scaling. Rather, it sounds as if it's a problem with "relative" vs. "absolute" mouse coordinates. Still, it's odd that other SDL apps work fine...

So two questions: 1) Just to make sure, does it still happen with current SVN / daily builds? 2) Do you have "black borders" around the game graphics when using full screen?

What is the status of this item? Is the issue still occurring with ScummVM 0.11.1 (or 0.12, which we'll release tomorrow) ? Does using a recent SDL version (1.2.13) have any effect?

Setting this item to pending.
