[Solved] mouse problems

my mouse works just fine in KDE but in opengl games the pointer keeps on right or botom side of the screen and when i want to move it to the left it jumps right back off the screen.

i guess this started after the upgrade, but i cant say for sure when becouse i havent played any opengl games in a while.

I hope you understand my probem as english is not my native language.

Here is my xorg conf.

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"

Re: [Solved] mouse problems

I had a similar issue caused by unclutter. Using the -grab option solved it.

Re: [Solved] mouse problems

I ran into this same problem a week or two ago after an upgrade.
You need to export an environment variable before running the opengl game.
I made a small script which starts Quake Wars for me, but I think the simplest solution is to add the following line to your .bashrc file

export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0

edit: You might have to log out completely before this takes effect
