Summary: IL-2 Sturmovik under wine -> mouse not working Product: Wine Version: 0.9.35. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx-dinput AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: bbaeyens@gmail.com
Fresh install of Ubuntu Feisty with wine 0.9.35 (installed through Automatix2). Tried running IL-2 Sturmovik (1946) under wine, it starts, but the mouse pointer does not move. The game does respond to key inputs, so its not frozen. Console shows nothing special.
I tried running the game full screen, windowed, I tried some tricks like alt tabbing in and out, sending the window to another viewpoint, changing mouse settings in winecgf nothing cures it. It worked fine with ubuntu Edgy and wine 0.9.30.
In case it matters, I use a wireless USB logitech MX Revolution mouse, with no special configuration or tweaking. The same problem occurs when I connect a wired Logitech MX500.
It might be interesting to note such mouse behaviour under windows is also a known issue when IL2 looses focus, and requires one to alt tab in and out of the game to regain a working mouse pointer. I suspect this problem should be reproducable on the very old IL2 demo, downloadable here: http://www.download.com/IL-2-Sturmovik-demo/3000-7547_4-10230099.html?tag=ls...
