[Wine] Mouse/keyboard input causes huge FPS loss in Eve Online
Greets! Running 1.1.29 on Ubuntu 8.10 on my System76 Serp4 (laptop, Intel C2D T9300, 4 gigs ram, nvidia 8600M GT with driver 185.18.36). I'm attempting to run Eve Online and am having a rather strange problem. The game installs and runs fine until I get in-game and move the mouse or hold a key down. Using the in-game FPS tool, it sits at about 30FPS at 1680x1050 and drops down to 1FPS if I just move the mouse in circles. I've tried disabling/lowering all graphics settings, turning off sound, running in windowed mode... nothing seems to help. Doing all of those things cranks the FPS way up.. but as soon as I move the mouse or hold down a key, framerate plummets. Any ideas what is going on here? -Sem

[Wine] Re: Mouse/keyboard input causes huge FPS loss in Eve Online
This still happens in 1.1.30. Also, it appears to only happen with Eve Online. I've played other games (Sacred comes to mind) without trouble. Any ideas why I'd have bad FPS issues when moving the mouse or holding down a key on the keyboard in Eve only? Hope someone can shed a little light on this problem. -Sem
