mouse bug in 2.5?

I did that yesterday, after my self-compiled binary started showing problem (A) (the rare variant).

It will take a few days though, because that problem shows up really unreliably, so it will take me a while of playing to post a result.

The really strange thing is why the official 2.5 lets this problem "explode" into my face, whereas all my self-compiled SVN and 2.5 binaries(*) only had the small problem...

(*) Nexuiz was the 2.5 tag, whereas darkplaces was roughly from the same time, as I couldn't find the trunk/branches/tags scheme there.

Use the source code that comes with 2.5 instead. That's always correct.
edit: I don't get A) problem. To me it seems unrelated to B).

The only way that I can get the mouse to work in 2.5 (13:45:51 Apr 2 2009 8846) is to run Nexuiz with gksu or to run it from a root terminal. Some of the sound only works that way too, i.e. the sounds that fade in before "Welcome to Nexuiz." But "Welcome to Nexuiz" plays in either case. I didn't and still don't have this problem with my old version (15:47:05 May 11 2008).

I'm running it on Ubuntu 8.04. Killing pulseaudio didn't affect the issue one way or the other. Killing compiz.real didn't affect it. Fullscreen or not didn't affect it. I tried glx and sdl versions, and that choice didn't affect it.

I ran the nexuiz-sdl.exe version using wine, and everything, including mouse and sound, works normally.

I would like to run the nexuiz-linux-686-glx version without gksu. Any ideas?

Try playing with/without evdev (using generic xorg mouse driver). Any changes?

[Itujixy]

I'll try that out and post back.

Alien, I have now tried it with using the evdev mouse driver and with using the generic "mouse" mouse driver, and that did not make any difference either.

Just now I had another idea, that a difference between normal user and super user is the home directory. So I tried renaming my .nexuiz folder to X.nexuiz. That fixed it. I found that the trouble was just in these specific lines of the config.cfg file:

bgmvolume "0"

vid_mouse "0"

I don't know why the older Nexuiz didn't have a problem with that vid_mouse setting.

Anyway, I deleted those two lines and my problem is solved.

bgmvolume "0"

vid_mouse "0"

Weird. bgmvolume 0 just mutes the music. And vid_mouse 0 disables the mouse
