Q3A and Mandrake 9.1

[DiscipleDOC]

I am really pleased with mdk 9.1. I think this is the first linux distro that really found all of my hardware on my nForce2 board.

With that said, I do have a slight problem that's really bugging me. My usb intellimouse will not move in q3a. The wheel will work, but when I move the mouse, nothing happens.

I tried playing tuxracer, and everything worked perfectly on that. I have even played UT2k3, and it played with no problems.

Here's my XF86Config-4 file:

Can someone help me?

EDIT: I modified the Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" option.

Try editing that file and changing the mouse protocol to the following and see if that helps. (I usually don't let Linux probe the mouse, as I usually do it manually and it seems to work better.)

Modify this in your mouse section.

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

I did that and it still doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

[Wolfman [TWP]]

Strange, I use a Logitech Marble Trackball & Logitech Cordless Optical with those settings and it's works in Q3A, Q2, Heretic 2, UT and UT2K3.

The only other thing I can think of, is to use the mouse config tool and set it up as a Microsoft Intellimouse USB and see what happens. (I had to do this with RH8.0 else it wouldn't config my mouse properly)

You see, that's the weird thing. Tuxracer works with the mouse, UT2k3 works with the mouse. It's just that q3a (my favorite game) don't work properly with it.

Isn't this thread ... yeah, it is. A double post from justlinux.com. Or if not, it's very, very simliar wording to a recent thread there...

The guys there told you to try installing the latest Q3 point release -- have you done that?

[Wolfman [TWP]]

I know that this question may sound somewhat silly... But.... Do you have the following two lines in your /homedir/.q3a/baseq3/q3config.cfg file???

seta in_dgamouse "1"
seta in_mouse "1"

I'm downloading it right now. I'll let you know if it works or not.
