I am not familiar with boblight. What is the boblight rendering area? Does it open a window? When xbmc launches it opens its window and the mouse pointer is positioned withing this window. It may be the top left corner but this still belongs to XBMC's window.

boblight-v4l is a binary in the boblight project that renders the video from a capture device on a small region of the screen in order to grab pixel color data and output it to ambilight-like devices.

I guess a workaround would be to script a mouse move to the center of the screen on xbmc startup. But I'm pretty sure it was in the center in previous releases.

I realize however I'm probably the only person in existence that's using boblight-v4l alongside xbmc...
