possibility to have fullscreen not take full controll of mouse (keyboard might
be good aswell).I suspect this is by design or otherwise this would already be
in but there are a number of good posibilities for XBMC to be able to be able
to.XBMC is a htpc software and a few people want to run this in dualhead mode
and these often use a LIRC or bluetooth device to controll XBMC and they want to
be able to use the other screen as is.If SDL could let go of either mouse or
keyboard (or both if that is the only option) that would have made life alot
easier for these users.As said I suppose this isn't possible but I wanted to
send a mail and see if anyone knows of a solution or just to let you know that
there is usage for it :)Thanks alot for a wonderfull librarySincerely Topfs2

Try:
SDL_WM_GrabInput( SDL_GRAB_OFF );
Don't know if it works in fullscreen.
