--- Comment #3 from Michael B toxatec@web.de 2013-08-01 04:33:50 CDT --- wine-1.0 is the same as described above. wine-0.9.50 feels different but shows the same behavior with xdotool (119: no effect; 120: cursor moves).
Mouse control in the unpatched Empire Earth v1.00 or the Demo version is working fine with any wine version. Something was changed in the first patch (v1.04).
I'm attaching another +dinput log. This is from wine-1.6 and Empire Earth v1.00 where cursor movement is working as expected. Again I issued 'xdotool' like in the first log.
By the way: With native dinput, Empire Earth v1.00 shows the same strange behavior as v1.04 or v2.00 which I described in the first post.
Comments on this problem have been in AppDB for a long time, I just seem to be the first one to create a bug report about it.. probably most people are using the unpatched version of the game?!
