Mouse is not working in 3D games

Hi!

Now I'm running xserver 1.9 (1.9.0.901-1). Only problem I have is that mouse doesn't move in any 3D games I tried. That is Amnesia, OpenArena, Doom3. OpenArena and Amnesia are 64bit, Doom3 is 32bit.
Cursor appears in game, but that's it. I couldn't find any clue what's wrong, because wine games run fine, gnome has cursor etc.
Anyone have this problem? How to solve this?

regards
Kirurgs

Maybe you need some settings like

SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=1 SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 /usr/bin/quake3

Hi!

SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 worked in OpenArena, it has no effect in Doom3. Previously with 1.8 xserver it worked w/o any variables.

Re: Mouse is not working in 3D games

I have the same problem with teeworlds, the mouse doesn't move. Using the same xorg version...
but if I open the game with SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 it works...
before the last xorg update everything was ok

And you know what else it helps - DosBOX. I was having problems with the mouse not moving in all my DosBOX games (what can I say, I'm a retro gamer). Setting this environment variable before running DosBOX fixed it! Now, back to X-Com & Master of Magic

Hi!

I'm pleased to say that this bug is fixed, I upgraded the following packages:
upgraded xorg-server-common (1.9.0.901-1 -> 1.9.0.901-2)
upgraded xorg-server (1.9.0.901-1 -> 1.9.0.901-2)
upgraded xkeyboard-config (1.9-1 -> 2.0-1)

Tested with openarena and Doom3.

P.S. Please test and comment to bugzilla as well...
