Re: [pygame] Mouse and Fullscreen

[John Eriksson <john@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The main problem seems to be that the mouse pointer is moving way to
fast.

I guess I could translate the mouse location to be more accurate for the
lower resolution. But I wonder what will happen if the display already
are running in 800x600.
