 Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2003 2:47 am Post subject: Quake2 - Mouse Problems |
 |
|
I'm having some issues with quake2 and my mouse. I've been reading around the forums and have tried the various issues such as enabling DGA in my XFree config, and the set _indgamouse to both 1 and 0 and nothing seems to work. The mouse works pefectly under SDL Opengl but not GLX. I would Settle for SDL, but it's so dark I can barely see anything even with the Brightness cranked to full.
When Playing in GLX the game will run fine just mouse movements are jerky. Does anyeone else have this problem? Is it an ATI issue? I'm using the ATI drivers from Portage. My roommate who runs gentoo as well doesn't have the issue and the only diffrence between our computers is he is running Nvidia and I'm running ATI.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, |

What type of mouse are you using? I know it seems like kind of a dumb question, but it's the only thing I can think of- maybe Quake2 doesn't like your mouse. If you have the option of switching your mouse between P/S2 and USB, try that.
I'm assuming you've tried messing with all of the mouse options in Quake2, sensitivity and smoothing and such...
You could try wierd stuff, like killing X, and then running xinit from a console, and playing without a window manager, or uninstalling the portage version, and run in from one of the rpms at Icculus.org.
I don't know, Quake2 is a great game though, my personal favorite for co-op.

Yep, I tried everything from adjusting the Baud Rate in the XF86 (which I didn't think would make a diffrence for a USB mouse) to enabling DGA, none of which worked.
I'm using a Microsoft Cordless USB mouse. It seems to work great in everything except Quake2 in GLX, I would use it in SDL mode if I could get the brightness up higher. (if anyone knows any quake2 console commands for brightness & gamma that would be an acceptable work around)
I'll try your suggestions when I get home, Quake 2 Co-op was the whole reason I installed Quake2 
Thanks, |

Well I tried my old PS/2 mouse and it was even worse, the mouse won't even move in the game.
I tried enable DGA by removing the omit in my XFree but all that seems to do is make me spin when I try to use it in SDL mode. |

Sorry for the bump, but I'm also having this problem with Quake2 (-icculus). I'm running XFree 4.3.0 and my ATI drivers' version is 3.9.0 (my videocard is Radeon 9600 Pro) from portage. I'm running the gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5 kernel. Is there anyone else having this problem, and hopefully the solution?

Yep I have the problem too dammit... I'm using a NVIDIA GeForce though, so I'm quite sure it's not related to the video card drivers. Mouse is smooth in softx and sdl, and sucks in GLX but GLX is the best looking interface, daaah! and this thread hasn't been answered in a year!  |

just run quake with some options and mouse will work.
xorg.conf
| Code: | Section "Module"
# SubSection "extmod"
# Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
# EndSubSection
|
run quake2:
| Code: | quake2-qmax +set in_dgamouse 1
or quake2 +set in_dgamouse 1 |
