Hello @all,

at first I want to thank the developers of dosbox for this really great emulator that brings us back the good old days in such a perfect way:)

At second I have a technical question and would be really thankful if someone could help me out, so I not have to investigate the source code tree directly.

I was wondering how the mouse capture feature under linux and xwindow was solved in dosbox. At last I played around with Wine and it has a really great problem simulating DirectInput correctly. As far as I concerned one of the major problems here is the missing capability of capturing the mouse.

This bug in Wine is there for a long time and prevents many games from being playable. I was wondering if the solution of mouse capturing in dosbox could be possibly also used in Wine to solve the long running mouse problems there.

It would be great if someone could give me a short technical introduction so that I maybe can figure out if this could be possible and would be worth to look further.

Thank you very very much in advance
