Hi

I found a workaround for the mouse escape bug.

First: get xwarppointer from the internet and compile it.

Second: Change the Game Res to 1280xYYYY

Third use this script to start:

---------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

# Resolution in game : 1280xYYYY !!!!!!

cd /mnt/daten/wine/win_c/programme/Thief3/

MWINE_VERSION=wine1132 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/thief3 mwine System/T3.exe &

while [ 1 = 1 ]
do

getX=$(./xwarppointer get | cut -d" " -f1,1)
getY=$(./xwarppointer get | cut -d" " -f2,2)
#echo $getX

if [ $getX -lt 2 ]; then
./xwarppointer abspos 1277 .
else

if [ $getX -gt 1278 ]; then
./xwarppointer abspos 3 .

fi

fi

#if [ $getY -lt 10 ]; then
# ./xwarppointer abspos . 385
# else

#if [ $getY -gt 758 ]; then
# ./xwarppointer abspos . 385

# fi

# fi

# ./System/xwarppointer abspos 700 450
done

---------------------------------

This works for Thief 3 , Deadly Shadows
