[SDL] SDL mouse events.

[Lucas]

Thanks.

Yes, polled was the wrong word there, my bad. I meant sample rate.

I probably have this wrong, but this is how I see it:
You would want to be able to measure mouse motion of only one pixel.
A sample rate of 1000, constant mouse movement and a high screen resolution 
this would amount to 1000 events per second on the queue.
Lets say that some part of your 3d game runs slow on that computer (lets say 
5 fps), that would lead to event loss.
I'd rather set the sample rate of SDL to a lower frequency or
not let mouse events flood the queue by only accepting key events and use 
GetRelativeMouseState for mouse movement.
