Dinput - Keyb Bug

[Kristoffer Ericson]

I'm trying to get StarSiege Tribes (1) to work, and from what i gather is it 
suffering from a quite common wine-gaming-problem (both wine & winex).

The game starts smoothly enough but keyboard is dead. When i press any key 
it will instantly drop out and quit. No error message or breaks.
Considering the keyboard makes you move it basicly leaves you jumping up and 
down shooting at everything that comes..=) Other than the keyboard error 
tribes runs fine.

I daily run updates from winex & wine but been working at this problem for 
about 2 weeks.

I've read all the info i could find on the subject and from what i can 
gather is that tribes used to work on older wine. So can anyone give me some 
futher info about where i could find older wine-archives or if the dinput (i 
guess the problem is due to dinput) problem is about to be solvedŽ, tweaks, 
patches, ideas..

With respect Ken

You need to use the windows dinput.dll as ours is (still) not up to spec. I used to play this game
all the time under linux till tribes2. I dont know if this will work with the directx 8.1 but if
you can find a dinput.dll from dx5 or 6 it should work.

I will add this information to the wine application database if its not already there and if
someone working on directx can figure out what is going on that would rock long term.

Thanks
Steven

Well, you could send me a +dinput trace of your problem. Or (maybe better) a
+dinput,+event,+relay trace.
