Bug #: 30320 Summary: Mouse pointer in xorg-server 1.12 unusable Product: Wine Version: 1.5.0 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: maquis196@yahoo.co.uk Classification: Unclassified
In Mass Effect 3 thread someone suggested I install xorg-server 1.12 to see if the behaviour he saw was just his machine. I can confirm it isn't.
With xorg-server 1.12 installed and so far tested with the following games;
Tomb raider - Underworld The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The mouse cursor seems locked in the middle of the screen and as you move the mouse around the game camera will swing around wildly. To explain it; it's like the mouse is stuck on an invisible crosshair and as you move it the cursor flicks between the quadrants jerking the camera from one extreme to another. It's not just sensitive it's downright unusable.
However in menu's the mouse works as expected. There's no console output to suggest a problem and it very well could be an xorg problem. downgrading to 1.11.4 removed the problem for me.
