ioquake3 mouse issues

Hi,

I'm using ioquake3 1.36 from the aur along with the obligate original pak0.pk3. When starting the game with default settings the cursor sits in the top-left corner and doesn't respond.
Tried changing the in_mouse cvar to 1/0/-1, no effect.

Some other versions which may be relevant(?)

xorg-server 1.8.1.902-1
xf86-input-evdev 2.4.0-1
catalyst 10.7-1

Mouse section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
        Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Someone else experienced the problem and has a solution?

Re: ioquake3 mouse issues

Do you have xf86-input-mouse installed?
Any errors? Anything interesting in the logs?

Re: ioquake3 mouse issues

Yep, xf86-input-mouse is installed although i don't need it in the moment I think?
Which logs do you mean exactly? :x
The console output while running the game isn't showing anything suspicious as far as I can see.

Re: ioquake3 mouse issues

Can you move / look using the keyboard?

Not really related but if you're willing to try out any magic spells, here's one:

What about xorg and kernel logs? I think looking there is rather pointless but can't hurt either.

Re: ioquake3 mouse issues

Tried the hint from ml already, no effect. But if I'm windowing quake3 the mouse works flawless though can't switch back to fullscreen again. Graphic driver related I guess but also can't hear sounds then anymore when moving the mouse, keyboard seems still working.

SDL: A cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide fast access to the graphics framebuffer and audio device.

If it did work some time ago, you may try downgrading various things.

I don't think it matters, it's not even a warning but anyway:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier  "Mouse0"
 Driver      "vmmouse"
 Option      "Protocol" "auto"
 Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
 Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

The above is an old config for VMware, so you need to modify it. You may want to play with things like 10-mouse.conf or an xorg.conf but I don't really think it will help.
