[-- Attachment #1 --]
The attached patch adds a --grabimmediate option to VBoxSDL. This lets
VBoxSDL start with the mouse and keyboard input already grabbed.
Use cases:
For console-only guests, the mouse pointer is useless and only goes away
when the user clicks.
Running full-screen guests, one would usually want the input grabbed
immediately anyway. (It could be argued that the --fullscreen option
should grab input immediately by default.)
To use, copy the patch to /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose and
rebuild the port.
Feedback welcome.
