evdev and some 3D games

Hi,

I've 8-button mouse, so I use evdev to get all this buttons working. But, evdev had problems with some 3d games on fullscreen mode. I have OpenArena nad Unreal Tournament 1, and in both pointer constatntly moves to down-right of the screen. So mouse is unusable in this games.

With driver "mouse" these games works OK, but then I don't have my 8 buttons. Tried btnx, but it does'nt detect my mouse buttons at all. It detecs scroll wheel only...
Any solutions?

This was suggested in another thread:

export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0

Solved the problem for me ...

Yeah, this helps, but... don't work for me with Doom3. Pointer still fly towards right bottom corner and this behavior differs a little from other games. First 10 seconds mouse is almost usable, more time going - worse mouse behavior.
