I can't move my mouse

[kilrathi]

Just tried with the newest nvidia drivers and it's even worse - "mouse crash" is almost immidiate and "pointing zone" is reduced to about 50x50 pixels

I'll download the newest ufo version from svn - it's my only hope  :?

If there is anyone who succeed running UFO:AI on Debian - please contact me

[Mattn]

i am running and developing ufo:ai under debian. but try the newest svn and then we can talk about that.
and don´t forget to install the x-extensions for vidmode and dga (+dev)

[Mattn]

ok, i´ve changed quite a lot mouse related things in svn - please give feedback

[kilrathi]

I don't have much time now so i guess i'll try the svn version this weekend.
Is there any compiling manual for svn version?

Yes:

http://ufo.myexp.de/wiki/index.php/Compile_for_Linux#Compile

(but the Debian desctiption at the bottom of that seems more comprehensive).

Hallo everybody,
I am new here so first greetings to everybody and a big thanks to all the hard working people making a great game.

I have this very slow mouse problem too. Tried all the solutions offered here upgraded to the newest version. Still the same problem.
Are there more things I can try to make it run.
I am running the svn version on ubuntu 6.06

[Mattn]

more infos - post the ufoconsole.log or send it to mailinglist.

You seem to have software renderer enabled (or not, I'm not sure). For me this reads:

> GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation

Do you have not only the Nvidia drivers installed but also their -dev portions and  the xlibmesa***-dev packages removed? Then recompile...

BTW, should I have anything about dga in my log when compile with DGA and then run with +set in_dgamouse 1?

P.S. Have all of you uncommented the "omit" option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 if you have an old distro)? Like that:

Code: [Select]


#SubSection "extmod"
#Option "omit xfree86-dga"
#EndSubSection

and make sure to have

Code: [Select]

Load "extmod"
somewhere in the file...

Oh, and there is one more tip from an old forum:

Code: [Select]

Manually edited config.cfg to:
- set in_mouse "0"
- set in_dgamouse "1"

(Unfortunately, for me in fullscreen mode, none of this works. So I'm stuck with glx with no DGA in Makefile (only then it says "...XF86DGA is not compiled in", so the makefile option really works for me, but mouse does not work with DGA).)

Hi,
I've the same problem, but when I tried set
Load "extmod"
into my xorg.conf, something changed - now mouse can move continuously but only horizontally on top of screen, cannot move vertically....

Any idea, pls?

Thanks for reply

erno

[Bandobras]

Have you tried every trick in the thread and on the wiki? (In particular both sdl and glx renderers and DGA...) Have you tried SVN trunk?

[erno]

Hi,
so I've got already figured out.
Bandobras: You have had true, there was my mistake, 'cause I had "onfig.cfg" instead of "config.cfg", and it was in bad location. I run Gentoo and this build is from stable tree, which means that there is something in /usr/games/ and something in /usr/share/games/ufo-ai/base/ and I had the "onfig.cfg" in /usr/share/games/ufo-ai/ instead "config.cfg" in ~/base/. So, in a nutshell it's fixed (for Gentoo) in a few steps:

1) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf add in Section "Module" >>
#subsection "extmod"
#Option "omit xfree-dga"
#EndSubSection
Load "extmod"

2) create file config.cfg in
/etc/share/games/ufo-ai/base/ with lines >>
set in_mouse "0"
set in_dgamouse "1"

that's all. I don't know why, but portage didn't create file config.cfg, and doesn't work ./ufo (in any location including /home/**user**.

Thanks to all for assistance and sorry for my english, I'm from Czech Republic..

Uh, I must send some accessary:

From my previous tests I had in my /usr/share/games/ufo-ai/base/default.cfg some commented lines:
#set in_mouse "0"
#set in_dgamouse "1"

this is because it doesn't work. So, when I removed this lines (due to cleaning), mouse going back on top of screen and problem was back. So I sended this strange lines again back in default.cfg and it's again work fine. I don't know, what this means, but in thi time I have:
1)
/usr/share/games/ufo-ai/base/default.cfg >>
//
// DEFAULT CVARS
//

set vid_ref         glx
set gl_driver      libGL.so
set gl_mode         6
set   vid_fullscreen   0
set crosshair      1
#set in_mouse "0"
#set in_dgamouse "1"

//----------------------------------------------

//
//   INIT STUFF
//
alias   init      "mn_main main;mn_sequence sequence;mn_push main"

//
// newgame command
//
alias   newgame " killserver ; maxclients 1"

//
// quake2 +set dedicated 1
// will run this command if no other +map is included
//
alias   dedicated_start   "map base1"

2)
/usr/share/games/ufo-ai/base/config.cfg >>
set in_mouse "0"
set in_dgamouse "1"

ant now it's work perfectly. If I'll remove #set in_mouse "0" and #set in_dgamouse "1" from default.cfg, problem is back...
why?

can anyone cast light on this?

thanks for all...

[erno]

uff, I'm sorry for this, but:
what I post previously, it's not true. The problem is accidental, once time mouse work fine, next time doesn't. I don't know... maybe it's fixed, when I try ./ufo in /usr/share/games/ufo-ai/ and then ufo-ai instead of just ufo-ai...

I apologize, again..

[Bandobras]

Congratulations for you patience. For the mouse now runs perfectly both in glx and sdl, thanks to some recent mattn fixes in SVN trunk. Upgrade and you should be fine...
