[Mplayer-advusers] trouble with the -vm option

Hi,

I upgraded to the latest cvs recently, and still mplayer does not have an 
option to disable mouse pointer grabbing. Christian Ohms patch still 
applies, and still works fine.

It's extremely useful for people like me who use a multi-head X setup to 
watch movies on the TV. With this patch, I can work on screen :0.0 and my 
wife can watch divx movies on screen :0.1 and control mplayer with the 
remote. Without this patch, I cannot move the mouse back to :0.0 if I use 
the -vm option, and I need this option.

Is there a special reason why this patch was not put in cvs, or did it just 
get ignored?

Keep up your fantastic work!

Magnus
