I am having issues with GTA:SA using the keyboard/mouse combination listed in the subject line. Character control is impossible. Does anyone have any ideas a a fix?

Thanks,

To give more information..

It behaves like the W key is stuck. Since WASD is used to control the character, he keeps walking forward. I can cancel this effect by holding the S key.

Have you used the same keyboard under Windows?

In my experience, wireless keyboards often have problems with many
keys being pressed at the same time... (which can happen in gaming...)

This might cause the scan codes for a key release to go missing...

You can try another different keyboard. If that helps, it is probably
your keyboard / its driver. If another keyboard have the same problem,
opening a Wine bug might be a good idea...

I tried a Logitech wireless keyboard /mouse combination and it works properly.

It is probably hardware (if it does the same under Windows) or driver
issues....

You can try asking on your distribution's forum...

If you really want a workaound, you might be able to script something
in autohotkey... (probably sending key releases occasionally...)
