wine users - Apr 2011 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 - keyboard input seems to hang?

Hello,

I installed wine from the Ubuntu Lucid repositories (wine-1.2.2) and
successfully installed THPS2.

But after I launch the game, I cannot navigate leftwards in the menu. In other
menus the selected item scrolls down (like when a button on a console controller
is stuck).

With some trouble I can get into a skate session, which runs perfectly, but my
skate character keeps on turning left (again like the left key is stuck).

Anyone knows what could cause this?

Thanks in advance,

dvrslype

Upgrade, this is pretty old version.

Do you have joystick(s) connected by any chance? If so move sticks around or
disconnect them when starting Wine.
