Unreal Tounament Classic/99 mouse problem - archlinux 64bit

Hello,

in UT Classic (uses /opt/lib32) my USB Logitech MX518 mouse isn't working correctly.
When I move the mouse the mousepointer starts to move but always jumps back in the lower right corner.
In X itself and stuff like gimp the mouse is working without a problem.

It seems to be a problem with some of the lib32 as I have swaped the arch lib32 with lib32 from "Sourcemage" (called "smgl-emul32" there).
With the Sourcemage version the mouse is working without a problem in UT.

Do you have any idea which library in archs /opt/lib32 may be the cause of this or how to identify it ?
Anyone playing UT Classic 32bit in Archlinux 64bit without this problem ?
Just using the Sourcemage smgl-emul32 libs isn't a good solution as this stop wine+starcraft from working in arch for me.

//edit
I forgot to mention that the touchpad (synaptics driver) works flawless in UT - but touchpad-3d-shooting is a bit difficult to master for me ;-)

Best regards,

Ingo

If you use evdev for your mouse, this might help: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 27#p324927

SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE doesn't care whether the xorg mouse driver is "mouse" or "evdev", it will still have an effect

Thank you very much. This fixed my problem.
I must have missed this thread while searching this forum. ;-)
