Mouse speed

Hi,

I installed the game on Kubuntu FF on a Dell Inspiron 640m, following the indications given in this forum.

I got the two packages from http://getdeb.net/app/UFO+Alien+Invasion
They installed just fine.

You did a great work, it looks to me like one of best linux port I've seen. I haven't seen much, but still !

Now here's the bad part :
On first run, it wasn't fullscreen and I found the mouse going very fast. So I tried to play with cvars in ~/.ufoai/base/config.cfg
I tried several combinations with in_dgamouse, in_mouse : didn't change anything.

I finally set vid_ref to "sdl" ; that gave me fullscreen. And the mouse seemed a little bit slower.
And config.cfg was modified so that the cvar in_dgamouse doesn't show anymore.

But the mouse has a latency that makes the game very hard to play.

Moreover, but this seems to be another issue, all the in-game text descriptions appear as the file name or the database entry (bolterrifle_pre_txt, intro_sentence1, laser_pre_txt, etc. that kind of thing).

I'll give you all output needed, just ask (I don't know where to start)

Thanks

Why??

To switch to fullscreen, Options->Video->FullScreen.

pikton:
Probably. But that's not an issue, I simply mentioned it because setting vid_ref to "sdl" made the game to start fullscreen.

My problem is the mouse latency. Just to clarify what I mean by latency : you move the mouse, you go chopping some wood or fishing, and when you come back the pointer has just moved. Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's almost a half-a-second-long delay, so it doesn't make the interface very user friendly...

If anyone has an idea ?

nemchenk:
Are you getting decent FPS? ("Show FPS" in Options/Video)

pikton:
I suppose 5.1 FPS and very shortly after 1.1 FPS is not decent FPS.
I tried with vid_ref set to glx and sdl - no decent FPS...
