1.2.1: mouse cursor visible/double window initialization

[jengelh]

In GL fullscreen mode, the X mouse cursor is visible, centered together with the crosshair. [ It follows the semantics of forcing the mouse pointer back to the center of the screen, so it at least proves mouselook works ]
This issue goes back to as far as I know (1.1.06). The software renderer is not affected, and neither is Skulltag 0.97e2032's GL mode.

I just compiled 1.2.1 for 64bit linux and noticed that as well. But I can live with that for now. It seems that the graphics corruption with a 64 bit binary has been resolved.

I will need help from someone who can test this. I don't use Linux.

I'm willing to test for this and whatever else comes up (that I can duplicate on my system, of course).

I've also experienced this. I posted about it here.

Workaround is to disable and re-enable the mouse. Cursor disappears.
Bind a key to it, to make that more simple.
Its just a workaround though...

Here is the patch that fixes it for me.

Note to self: the mousepointer is a crosshair cheat, which is.. probably not so good if xhairs are force-disabled in a network game.

I see what you did there. Now as it stands, it today happened to me that the mouse cursor was slightly offset from the real crosshair, being rather a nuisance than a potential hack.
EDIT: The patch also fixes the "double creation" of the GL window that can be observed in non-fullscreen mode.

Really? That's been bugging me for a while, glad to see it fixed.
