I made a quick hack that will force the game to grab the pointer and lock it to the window. To try it out, save this C code to a file (e.g. grab_pointer.c): #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <dlfcn.h> #include <stdbool.h> #include <X11/Xlib.h> typedef int (*real_XNextEvent_t)(Display *display, XEvent *event_return); real_XNextEvent_t real_XNextEvent; int XNextEvent(Display *display, XEvent *event_return) { static bool first_expose_done = false; XExposeEvent *ev; int ret; ret = real_XNextEvent(display, event_return); if (!first_expose_done && event_return->type == Expose) { ev = (XExposeEvent *)event_return; XGrabPointer(ev->display, ev->window, True, 0, GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, ev->window, None, CurrentTime); first_expose_done = true; } return ret; } __attribute__((constructor)) void init(void) { real_XNextEvent = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "XNextEvent"); } Compile the file like this: gcc -shared -fPIC -O3 -march=native -lX11 grab_pointer.c -o grab_pointer.so This will create the shared object file grab_pointer.so. Now you just need to "preload" this code when you run the game. At the command line, try this (changing the paths to the approriate locations): LD_PRELOAD=/absolute/path/to/grab_pointer.so /path/to/Pillars\ of\ Eternity/start.sh Or if you don't want to have to run that at the command line each time, you can edit the game's start.sh and add this line at the top (but after #!/bin/bash): export LD_PRELOAD=/absolute/path/to/grab_pointer.so Hope that works for you until Obsidian fixes the issue.
