--- Comment #5 from Martin Fontaigne martinrs@softhome.net --- Although this bug is closed/abandoned, I just have to add some closure to this bug.
I have found a solution with key input not responding, and it leads me to believe that it may be a bug in the game itself or buggy interaction with wine.
First, whenever you change control configuration, none of them actually gets activated. Even if you save the configuration (there are only two choices to save to: mydefault or myconfig) none of the changes work, and they are never loaded when game starts, and never activated even when manually loaded in the game.
But, the game always seem to use the configuration in the file bindings.def. The default binding obviously has key names that are not compatible with wine/X11 key names, so they never work.
So the workaround solution is as follows:
1. Start the game, then change control configuration in the game 2. Save configuration to mydefault or myconfig 3. Quit the game 4. Copy shell/bindings/myconfig.dff or shell/bindings/mydefault.dff (whichever you saved to) to bindings.def, overwriting it. 5. Start the game. 6. Voila! All the keys work perfectly.
Hope this helps others, and gives proper closure to a long-standing issue.
