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...

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
Using CTRL+ALT was working with your patch, so no bug there ...
