[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/2] avdevice/x11grab: fix cursor drawing in multi-screen setup

[Antonio Ospite]

Hi,

with multi-screen setups x11grab does not behave in the correct way wrt.
drawing the mouse cursor, e.g. when doing:

  ffplay -f x11grab -i ":0.1"

the mouse cursor was drawn in the captured video even when the mouse
pointer was on :0.0.

The following patches fix the issue.

Patch 1 is just a preparatory change which has also the effect to
minimize the delta with the version of patch 2 I am sending to libav.

Patch 2 has the actual fix I came up with, look there for a detailed
description of the issue.

I can provide further info about how to replicate the issue with
a virtual screen using the xserver-xorg-video-dummy driver if anybody is
interested.

Thanks,
   Antonio
