Problem with mouse / sdl

[kUnde]

Hello,
I've downloaded the latest beta (svn down??) but I have strange problems with the mouse.
I have search the forum but every tip doesn't help for me (grabmouse, fullscren etc)
my mous lags extremely if resolution is high, if I set mode to 640x480 mous speed is fine but I cannot reach with the mouse the right side of the screen (no buttons and so on)

I'm running Fedora 4 with installed fglrx module

there was a tip to set vid_ref to "sdl" but when I am doing this I'm getting:

Code: [Select]


M@localhost ufoai]$ ./ufoai

I think one possible solution would be to lower the "Options"->"Texture Resolution Cap" setting in the menu (or edit the 'set gl_maxtexres "2048"' setting to something lower in config.cfg .. i think it should be a power of 2 .. but i'm not sure it's the correct setting)
At least that helped me when the mouse was moving slow/funky.

The problem with the missing "ref_sdl.so"-file is that you either didn't compile with sdl-support (see the Makefile in src/linux) or it wasn't shipped with your downloaded package.

If that doesn't help i'm out of ideas, maybe mattn has some tips.

I played a bit around with the texture resolution but this did not help.
Only lowering the resolution speed up the mouse.
I cannot currently access the svn, is this a problem of my PC or is it really down (500 server error)
And yes, my binary package hat no ref_sdl.so included

The SVN-service seems to work fine, i can update normally.
Only the web-frontend is still down.

Sorry, i do not know what else could cause this mouse-behaviour.

ah ok I only tried the web directory sorry for confusing you
so I will try the latest svn version

That problem has been around some days now, so i already suspected it was 'only' the web-frontend when you mentioned the server-problem

so I will try the latest svn version

Please post any obstacles or extra steps you encounter in this thread.
It's always good to have feedback on such things.

I got it working with the svn version.
it works with glx and sdl. (had to link the ref_sdl.so)
however I had to set alowdownload to 0 because it was searching for file env/tr.tga while entering a combat...
