patch straight from the euthor to make the SDL output work with mouseinput again
Created attachment 22266 [details, diff] sdl-mouse-fix.patch
Max, do you have time to solve this one? Otherwise maybe it could be reassigned to media-tv. Several versions have been released since this report was submitted, so adding the latest version should close this one as well.
SDL support has been removed from tvtime for now (unmaintained backends cleanup), I've just added tvtime-0.9.15 to portage, let me know how it goes.
