Mouse not working in Hellgate

bg4m3r · Post by **bg4m3r** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 4:35 pm

Ok, I've been a little bit all over with this. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 64bit (kernel 2.6.38.11) and GNOME 2.32.1. I have Wine 1.3.28 installed and Hellgate is installed and runs well, except the mouse does not work. I've seen various patches, but I'm unsure as to how to install them, and I've also seen where someone said that this bug should be fixed if Wine is fully updated as well as another item, related to X.org, but I've lost track of the post and don't recall exactly what it was that I needed to check. I added the Ubuntu X-swat update ppa (it was mentioned in the post) and ran update manager, but it seems this did not correct the problem. I would like to not have to patch Wine, as I know that involves compiling it myself, but if I must, I must. This mouse issue seems to have affected many apps, so I would likely run into it with other stuff I plan on trying to run.

Anyway, I am a novice with linux (currently taking a Linux+ class atm), and a complete newie with Wine. If someone could give me some current info on taking care of this issue, I would be greatly appreciative!

Yup, it's this bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20395
All 3rd party patches are something outside the scope of this forum. From all of RawInput patches I've seen non a single one is correct. All doing a dirty hacking and implementing only parts of RawInput.

Right, I've been through that thread a few times. I wish I could find the post where someone said that this issue has been fixed within wine itself...it seems I need to get something else updated, but I don't recall what...I guess I'll start trying to figure out how to get this patch installed...

I found this patch:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-de ... 91036.html

Can anyone help me out with how to install it? or point me to a detailed walkthrough?

This is part one of a very long patch sequence.

Also, do I need to install all 20 files, or are they just updates of each other?

ok, attempted to patch, and it failed...here's the error:

Code: Select all

This was from the first patch file...I was following instructions from here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712407
but with the current version of wine source (1.3.28)

Those patches fail against current Wine because Wine has changed since they were created. Use the version of Wine they were meant for.

I downloaded Wine 1.3.27 and tried to patch with raw2.patch, which is supposed to be for this version of wine. I still got the above error on part of the patch. I assume this is not normal.

I seen that Wine 1.3.28 is supposed to support xinput2, but I can't find how to install it. I think that updating to xinput2 should fix this bug...
