how do you deal with games that either can't or won't lock the cursor to their window?
I'm currently talking about Pillars of Eternity (1) which is a native game. I have a 3-monitor setup, meaning that it's doubly annoying when the cursor either escapes to the left or right side monitor. The in-game option "Lock cursor" doesn't work. Also I imagine that the solution will be different depending on whether it's a native game, or runs via Wine, etc.
Any experiences or tips for dealing with this in general? I'm not finding much info on this. Or maybe I'm using bad keywords.
I run LXDE/Openbox on Arch, if it matters.
