to make xi2 patch work properly, there are a few conditions:

1) you must have recent enough xorg (1.8 or bigger, in debian it works
currently in testing, unstable, experimental, in ubuntu it works since lucid,
on others: i don't know)
2) you must have xinput dev package installed (on debian/ubuntu: libxi-dev)
3) then you can apply patch to wine source, run configure, then check generated
include/config.h and search for xinput2, it should define HAVE_XINPUT2_LIB to
1.
4) if it's 1, then wine will be built with xi2 support, you can do make, make
install, you're done

.. and you shouldn't apply any patches for mouse warp when using xi2 and also,
registry changes in directinput are useless and may cause problems.
