macOS: Mouse confined to main display when streaming a secondary monitor #134

Describe the Bug

When streaming a secondary monitor (set in Sunshine config), keyboard input and mouse clicks work, but the cursor cannot move normally across the streamed display. It moves vertically along the left edge and appears pinned horizontally at x=0.

Switching between Moonlight’s relative and absolute mouse modes does not resolve the issue. I want to stream the secondary monitor without making it the macOS main display.

Expected Behavior

The cursor should be able to reach the entire streamed secondary display without changing which monitor is the macOS main display.

Actual behavior

Keyboard input and clicks reach the host. Mouse positioning is incorrect; in testing, the cursor becomes pinned to the streamed display’s left edge while still moving vertically.

Additional Context

Environment

• Sunshine: 2026.906.222525
• Commit: LizardByte/Sunshine@cb72dff
• Installation: Homebrew, running as a user service
• Host: macOS Sonoma 14.8.5, Apple Silicon
• Client: Moonlight on macOS
• Capture: macOS screen capture
• Encoder: VideoToolbox

Suspected cause

The bundled libvirtualhid revision with my build of Sunshine is 6fdb8bd.

Its macOS backend initializes MacosInputState::display using CGMainDisplayID(). In post_mouse(), it clamps both mouse coordinates to CGDisplayBounds(state_->display). Both relative and absolute motion paths use this function.

This appears to constrain injected mouse movement to the main display rather than allowing movement on the selected secondary display.
