Still a problem as at 19 April 2013 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with up to date

As reported above this is affecting certain (fullscreen?) games (e.g.
Lugaru) + XBMC where the mouse continually (and almost instantly) jumps

I had this issue myself here in Ubuntu 12.04 with the SDL games. The
easiest fix I was able to come up with was to edit /etc/environment file
and add SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 to the end of it then re-log. It
applied the change system-wide so all SDL games were fixed.

to stop unclutter before launching a conflicting application.

Am I right that this happens only with nVidia's proprietary driver?
nVidia plans to drop support for DGA, so the problem would cease to exist. But
if this also affects users of other drivers then the installer should detect
whether this particular hardware/driver combination works with DGA, and
Hi. I have similar problem with games that uses SDL library use their own

The only difference is when I click on let say a menu START (in game) then
mouse pointer show in completly other place ( direction is
I find this problem is related to DGA.
How to test:
1.Start nexuiz with glx (nexuiz-linux-glx.sh)
2.Go to setting-input
3.Check Turn off OS mouse acceleration (tip - Make use of DGA mouse input)
than it should behave like nexuiz-linux-sdl.
I think SDL is using DGA for mouse input this is the
And it seems I found the solution.
In the xorg.conf find section Module add this:
Option omit xfree86-dga
so it would look like this:
Section Module
SubSection extmod
Option omit xfree86-dga
EndSubSection
EndSection
And than every game is now working without problem.

The thing unclutter conflicts with is SDL's relative mouse input. If you
export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0
before running an SDL game, the mouse won't jump. OTOH, an FPS like nexuiz
will be unplayable because you won't be able to turn freely! But this does
confirm that it's SDL's relative mouse

Ok, I've finally figured out the problem. It's unclutter. The jumping of the
mouse is caused by unclutter running. :-)
I really should have figured this out earlier...

I have changed the package this bug belongs to as suggested by Pascal
Giard. This bug is present for me from a clean install in gutsy when
using xserver-xorg-input-mouse version 1.2.1-1. The bug is no longer
present when I downgraded to version 1.1.1-0ubuntu, available from here:
Sorry about the above comment. I am mistaken. Downgrading that package
did not solve the problem. Is there any information I could provide to
help track down the source of the issue?

At least in my case, the problem turns out to be xserver-xorg-input-mouse.
Downgrading to previous version solved the problem.
Therefore, i believe this bugreport should be reassigned.

As I see it, it can either be caused by two things:
