[Bug 1276322] Re: [enhancement] Mir lacks relative mouse support

 

Just remembered. This still isn't enough for FPS gaming. We need to
implement pointer "grabs" for first-person-shooter type games, so that
the cursor never escapes the window while you're playing. Although a
workaround in the absence of grabs is to just say we only support
single-monitor setups, in fullscreen, for FPS gaming right now. Such a
setup constrains the cursor to never escape, but we will still need a
more general solution like pointer grabs.

Bug description:
  Mir lacks relative mouse support, as well as a way to warp the mouse.
  This is a problem when it comes to SDL as quite a few games depend on
  these features.

  SDL bug report:

  This is the only thing that is blocking full SDL Mir support.
