Someone knows a free app to block the mouse in the bounds of my main display?

Hi.

I bought my first mac a two days ago. I use him with two lcds (a 22" LG and a TV 40" for movies). When I don't want watch movies, I turn off my tv. But the mouse still go to the screen.

Someone knows a free app to block the mouse in the bounds of my 22" display?

In windows have some free softwares that do this... But in Mac I don't know.

I saw a SwitchResX shareware, but I don't want pay 20USD to do that.

Sorry about my english.

Mateus.

What are the names of those Windows applications?

I think there's something in AutoHotKey to do it, and MouseTrap. And probably others.

I don't think there's anything for Mac. Pity. A work-around, once you've turned off other monitors (or if you just ignore them) is to turn on Mirror Displays instead of using a virtual desktop. Not helpful if you use a screen to run streaming stuff though.

And BTW, I have SwitchRes and it doesn't do this as far as I can tell.

Hi.

The application that I use to do this in Windows is:

DualDisplayMouseManager
Available on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ddmm/)

I think there's something in AutoHotKey to do it, and MouseTrap. And probably others.

I don't think there's anything for Mac. Pity. A work-around, once you've turned off other monitors (or if you just ignore them) is to turn on Mirror Displays instead of using a virtual desktop. Not helpful if you use a screen to run streaming stuff though.

Thanks for the answer.

And about SwitchRes: I don't know if this app can do that. But, from what I saw in another forums, it can disable the second display (don't know if is really possible).
