Re: [pygame] virtual input mode on Linux

So I wrote a piece of code below and it works great on a
mac and windows but not correctly on linux. On linux the pointer seems to stop at the edges of the pygame window (it doesn't even get to the edges of the screen). At the edges it just keeps reporting (0,0) for dx, dy. Any idea why this might be happening when everything works fine on win/mac?? 

import pygame
pygame.init()
pygame.display.set_mode((300,200))
runThread = True

pygame.mouse.set_visible(False)
pygame.event.set_grab(True)

The code looks like it should be right. I wonder if it might also require a fullscreen window? It doesn't sound necessary since you must already grab the mouse. You might get further help from the SDL list? It's sure been awhile since I looked into this kind of thing.
