Hi, I'm using dosbox on a linux 2.6.1 (gentoo) with XFree86 4.3.0. The server is configured to use the VGA and TV out of my nvidia geforce4 mx440 as two independent screens. So the VGA is :0.0 and TV is :0.1, no xinerama.

I would like to be able to use dosbox fullscreen on one screen while retaining use of the other. Unfortunately when I run dosbox -fullscreen and press ctrl-F10 the cursor is confined to the screen on which dosbox is running.

As it is I can work around the problem by switching out of fullscreen on the fly, but this sucks for serious multitasking. If I had any experience programming for X or SDL I'd give it a try myself, but I wouldn't even know where to begin. Any help would be appreciated.
