I've been using your patch for releasing the mouse at window edges (the -autograb path) successfully with a Windows 98 guest. However, I'm now trying to set up a Windows 2000 guest, and the mouse isn't releasing -- things work as they would without the patch. Is this a known issue, or is it working for you with a Windows 2000 guest?
This is a known issue. I think the standard Cirrus graphics driver in Win2k doesn't support hardware cursors, so autograb doesn't work out-of-the-box. There's a newer graphics driver for Win2k at http://www.hofnet.com/fire/browse.asp?target=%5CCIRRUS%20LOGIC%5CCL-GD5446%5CDRIVERS%5CWIN2000
This driver supports hardware cursors; but you still have to use non-colored mouse cursors and disable mouse shadow. It then works nicely for me.
Btw. you should always be able to release mouse by pressing CTRL+ALT. If this doesn't work with my patch, it's a bug...
