weird mouse issues with first person games.
Whenever I try to play some (native) first person games, my mouse starts acting weird, and will randomly jump up and to the left a bit, every couple of seconds. This happens both in the menus, and in game of Penumbra Overture, Nexuiz and Sauerbrauten, but not Minecraft. Also, everything runs fine in XP, so it's not a hardware issue.
I've got an ATI Radeon HD 3200 card, running catalyst 11.8-1.
Any idea what the problem is, and how to fix it?

Re: weird mouse issues with first person games.
Since Arch uses a bleeding-edge glibc, maybe it needs this upstream patch for memcpy/memmove, as used by Ubuntu.

Re: weird mouse issues with first person games.
Built SDL from ABS, with the patch applied, and that didn't fix it, but I'm definitely sure it's an SDL issue, as the problem doesn't happen when I run nexuiz-glx.
EDIT: Turns out it was unclutter not playing nice with SDL. Killed unclutter, and all is well.
