wine users - Sep 2010 - optimize mouse for games

- I play the game atlantica online
- Tried for a few days to make it work on vmware, read all about making the host
enable for 3d games
- Works fine, a bit slow but all 100%
--------------------
- Tried on wine, and omg, runs 200% and fast, extremelly fast
- Problem is the mouse
- had same problem on vmware, but i found the answer on:

> vmmouse.present = FALSE
> 
> This line disables the absolute pointing device in the guest. Applications
which require DirectInput relative mode need to turn off the absolute pointing
device in the guest. In practice, this is only required for a certain class of
full screen 3-D applications (for example, real-time games like first-person
shooters).

dialog.

- Problem solved on vmware
- on wine, i just cant find the option :(
- the game is not a first person shooter but i need this options to move the
camera


- when it happens???
- happens when i keep the left or right button of the mouse pressed, then the
cursor disapears and while pressed i can rotate the camera, not inside a battle,
inside a battle works fine, problem is when walking, you just use the mouse
- it does work, but very baddly, and for moving the mouse like crazy only moves
the camera like a 1%-%5
- tried on the wine config > gfx > allow dx to stop the mouse while
leaving their window, very little it improves

- for only this problem, the game is unplayable for me

Applications which require DirectInput relative mode need to turn off the
absolute pointing device in the guest. In practice, this is only required for a
certain class of full screen 3-D applications (for example, real-time games like
first-person shooters).

Hi
I'm not sure if I understood your problem. I assume that you have 
problem with application behavior when you move your mouse on long 
distances (i.e. bigger than your normal distance to move cursor between 
screen's corners). If not, please ignore this post.

For me, it seems to be related with the following bug:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971

Unfortunately, it is not yet solved. However, you may try to use one of 
patches attached on the bugzilla. Personally, when I had problem with 
camera rotation in FPS game, I was using this patch:

http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=11303

For me it worked perfectly, so it may be good start point for you.
If you don't know how to apply patch, see:

http://wiki.winehq.org/Patching

In case of any problem, please ask. I'll try to help you.

You may have run into
http://wiki.winehq.org/Bug6971

You could try
winetricks mwo=force
but the xinput2 patch is the best workaround I know of.

- looked into that, I am a bit noob, using fedora 13 64 with install: sudo yum
install wine
- it installed the 64bit version by default 32_64 I think
- i am not sure how compiling from source will do if in the future i keep
updating with yum, I want to keep using yum to update all my packages the way i
had so far
- did in case sudo yum install wine-devel
> Name        : wine-devel
> Arch        : i686
> Version     : 1.3.1
> Release     : 1.fc13
> Size        : 2.4 M
> 
from there I dont know where to go to compile and apply the patch
- i tried a few registry tricks and I think it fixed, at least a 95% of the
issue :) without using that patch
- keept freezing, maybe i had messed too much with wine that i broke something,
so did sudo yum erase wine, and deleted the .wine folder from my home folder
- reinstalled wine (sudo yum install wine), run the config thing
- under gfx tab i clicked "Allow DirectX apps to stop the mouse leaving
their window"
- added the following registry to the win regedit:
> 
> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DirectInput
> string value: MouseWarpOverride and set it to enabled
> 
> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D
> string value: OffscreenRenderingMode and set it to fbo
> 

seems to have fixed my issue, now mouse works 95%, a few times it doesnt work
properly but still can help myself using the "S" and "D" key
from the keyboard to rotate left and right while i have the mouse left and right
click pressed at the same time to run forward

more details on how to apply that patch or any other tricks would be highly
appreciated
