Debugchannel +dinput while starting UFO:ET

In Game "UFO Extraterrestrials" the Cursor and the actual mouse position
desync.
If you use the mouse it's actually possible to move the real position in
relation to the displayed Cursor what means the desynced Position is not
static.
Also it is possible for the Mouse to leave the virtual desktop,
which make the desync even worser.

Does that game uses it's own cursor or the system cursor?
Are you running it full-screen or windowed?
Please try running the game with "virtual desktop" enabled in winecfg.

The game uses it's own cursor.
Forgot to mention here I run the Game in virtual desktop,
but even in fullscreen - same Issue.
Any Ideas? - It's seems that this bug is the only one making UFO unusable.

If you want an better Imagination of this Bug,
see AppdDB Screenshots, there is one with two red bars,
the smaller one is the movement of Mouse and displayed
cursor - the bigger one is the movement of Soldier-Selector.
( Where the game think the cursor actually is. )

Ok, seems like the game itself scales the mouse movements. Which is pretty
common.

Can you test the game with native dinput.dll? It should report slower mouse
movements. However native dinput does not report actual position of the
pointer. Wine's does.

So, the only problem I'm seeing here is that Wine does not apply mouse
acceleration calculation ... backwards.

Crashdump if trying to start with native dinput8.dll

If I start UFO:ET with native dinput8.dll it comes to:
Unimplemented function USER32.dll.GetRawInputDeviceList
As result game crashed. What can I try next?
Implement the function... - Hmm, don't know how, yet.

This patch implements the GetRawInputDeviceList (stub) function

Try this patch. Most likely this should be enough to make it work.

You can not use winXP dinput.dll and dinput8.dll

OK - got another dinput8.dll, but still desync problem,
but now I found a solution suppressing this Bug.
In File ./data/ufo-et.ini:
change "sensitivity=255" to "sensitivity=0"
which disable the scaling mentioned in comment 5.
Should I close this bug?
L. Rahyen:
- Nevertheless I'll try your patch, maybe this fixes the problem with using
winXP dinput8.dll.

Should not close this one,
I was bit to enthusiastic, after some more testing,
the desync is still there, if you press and hold right mouse and move,
e.g. Scrolling in Geoscape and if you touch the mouse while a
loading screen is shown.

I guess you did not understood what I was saying. That "desync" is perfectly
normal. The mouse movements (what reported from dinput) and actual cursor
position do not have to much. And they do not much on windows. The only thing
is, you do not really see the pointer on windows.

I do not see what is the problem, however I will leave the bug open if you so
desire.

Ok - I understood what you where saying, but now in-game you have 2 cursors,
one visible ( the game's own cursor ) and one invisible - but controlling
cursor, so it's really hard to play if you see the game cursor but the
controlling (invisible) cursor is somewhere else.
As an example: If I move the mouse on loading screen, say 5 cm left - then,
after loading, the invisible, controlling cursor is 5cm right from visible,
same behavior if hold right mouse and move, but everywhere in game.

Same problem using native dinput8.dll (4.08.00.0400),
compile now with patch above (stub) and try with xp's dll.

Ok - with this patch I can use the winXP dinput8.dll with UFO,
so far so good, but unfortunately it doesn't fix the desync. Thanks.

Then it's not the dinput but x11drv.

As said previously this bug is invalid. If the system cursor is not blanked
that is bug 881
