Can't disable DirectX mouse Grab (

Post by ydd-007 »

Hello,

I've got the following problem:
I'm playing myst 3 Exile in wine-1.1.2 on ubuntu 8.04
with winecfg set to emulate virtual desktop
and with directX mouse grab disable (from the wineconfig graphic interface)

This last point does not seems to work because
when I play myst, once the mouse has entered the wine window,
I then can not leave anymore : the cursor won't get out of the wine window
as if it's grabed. But for another game (runaway) it works perfectly well.

So my question : is it a wine "bug" or can a window application (like myst in this case) trick wine in a way that can not be prevented ?

I appreciate your help.

That option doesn't do anything. It used to work some years ago but not anymore.

The only way Wine or program itself can hold the mouse pointer inside is by moving it all the time to the center of the window.
