It's because of the way that SDL grabs the mouse. Darwinia often segfaults (crashes) on exit, and this means that SDL won't release the mouse. Either running another SDL app (Darwinia, UT, whatever) or setting "Windowed" to "1" in preferences.txt are a couple of workarounds.

Not that I know of. There may be an extremely simple SDL sample app out there which will take hardly any time to load, though.

Do you get a blackbox in your home directory?

Maybe this is the same problem as Im having (another post) but for me it does not hang the mouse (maybe because using x.org?)

for debugging I would suggest "strace -f -o debug.txt ./darwinia" hence blackbox.txt has been always empty on my problems.

The SDL mouse grabbing is the same on XFree86 and XOrg.

Best thing to do with regards to SDL apps and mouse grabbing issue is run it windowed as Dave2 said. Perhaps john could also add a mouse ungrab hotkey like ut2k* and q3 has.

I made a mistake in my first post, that preferences.txt entry was for beta1. For beta4 it's ScreenWindowed = 1 in ~/.darwinia/preferences.txt.

Mouse loss + resolution remains at Darwinia resolution

Postby dragoon » Tue Dec 21, 2004 2:04 am

I'm also experiencing this problem, although in my case it also leaves the screen resolution at the darwinia resolution. Xrandr -s 0 takes care of it without a problem though. Ctrl+Alt+[+/-] does nothing, however, so this will be hard for many to fix.

I've never had it lose my mouse this way when I just run the program and quit, but I haven't been able to find what exactly makes it change behavior, other than time and playing.

The difference is it exiting with SDL cleanly and releasing mouse focus vs just crashing while still having mouse focus.

One possibility might also be to reimplement the standard exit handler to release the mouse. Naturally the crashes need to be fixed but atleast it would always release the mouse.
