Hi, im pretty new to the whole linux and wine thing :) I know the is a linux native doom3 client but I cant seem to get any sound from it so I installed it with wine. It starts up normal and all, but when I enter the game I cant seem to turn all the way around. Its like the mouse pointer is stuck in some sort of window and cant get out :) Just for kicks I tried quake3 with wine and the same thing happens. I usually run q3 natively without problems. Hard for me to explain and I hope you understand and can help me :)
sounds like the pesky mouse bug that is afflicting so many games right now. to get doom3 working native you may need to replace the asound or libsdl libraries with sym links to your 32bit system versions i have had no problems running native doom3 (32bit) on my debian amd64. quake3 works perfectly, especially if you compile from source. nice pure 64bit binary etc. Dean Gezzy wrote:> Hi, im pretty new to the whole linux and wine thing :) > > I know the is a linux native doom3 client but I cant seem to get any sound from it > so I installed it with wine.

Thank you vitamin, that worked! :) But now there is another mouse problem. The mouse sensitivity/acceleration seems to be inconsistant. At one time the sens is pretty good, all of a sudden its very slow. Its playable, but quick aiming is hard :) Any thoughts? thanks in advance!

After i did xset m 1 it seems to be a little better... but still does it. thanks for the input though:) what does this command do? Any other ideas? :)

I would if I could get the damn sound to work :?
