Title: No mouse movement in native games
Post by: Refalm on 3 November 2010, 11:09

No one seems to be able to help me with this.

Mouse movement in Linux native games doesn't work. Not on my USB mouse or mousepad.
Games like Urban Terror, Warsow, Duke Nukem 3D (eduke32), Sauerbraten, etc.

Ironically, games in Wine (Team Fortress 2, Peggle Deluxe, Worms Reloaded, etc.) and JAVA (Minecraft) work great.

This is my hardware:
Intel Core2 Duo T8100 @ 2.10GHz
3 GB RAM
GeForce 8600GT 512MB (current driver 260.19.12)
Razer Salmosa
Synaptics Mousepad

I run Ubuntu 10.10. In Ubuntu 10.04, Linux native games worked.

Here's the solution:

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf add this:

Code: [Select]

Section "Module"
SubSection "extmod"
Option    "omit xfree86-dga"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Is this related to your Graphics Drivers, or did your X-Config get screwed somehow?

The problem was in the beta nvidia driver and SDL not communicating mouse movement.

Interesting bug, Is it just with Ubuntu 10.10?

I didn't have any problems in 10.04, but that could be because 10.04 had nvidia driver 195 and 10.10 has nvidia driver 260.
