Title:
Mouse scrolling works randomly with games using DGA for mouseinput
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Here's an interesting problem:
Games like Warsow and QuakeLive (probably all other freebie q-engine-
fps'es like Xonotic, etc too) use DGA by default for mouse input.
Albeit being a bit ancient way already, it's default for all of these
games (in_dgamouse).
The huge problem is, with 12.04 version of X, mouse scroll works
completely randomly through DGA input, and more you press keys from
the keyboard, more the scroll gets stuck. I have development version
of Warsow which supports input through Xinput2, but scrolling doesn't
work correctly through Xinput2 either. Reading input directly from
evdev does not have this problem (or 11.10).
1) Expected: Mouse scroll respons on up/down scrolling.
2) What happens: Mouse scroll doesn't respond at all, respons
randomly, or respons only after you stop pushing keys from the
keyboard. It gets especially bad if you move / press keyboard while
trying to scroll - then it doesn't respond at all. If you let go of
movement keys, it takes around 1-2 seconds before mouse scroll respons
again. Stops responding again on stressing the keyboard input.
3) How to reproduce: Bind next/previous weapon in any quake-derivated
game or *ANY game that uses dgamouse* for input to
MWHEELUP/MWHEELDOWN, press keyboard while doing it (regular in-game
movement for example), and see how mouse scroll stops responding.
This basically breaks every single game I play on Linux.
