Topic: Mouse input problems, non-linear etc
I've talked to some ioquake3 people and they have had problems with the mouse input as well. One of em have built an SDL version with fixes for poor mouse movement input.
You can download the dll from here: http://icculus.org/~tma/SDL.dll
Please report back the results of your tests.
From their README:
Mouse Input On Windows
ioq3 uses SDL to abstract away as much as possible from platform specific
implementation details. Unfortunately, SDL 1.2 suffers from a number of bugs
and limitations with respect to mouse input on the Windows platform. We
provide a patch against the SDL subversion 1.2 branch which fixes the
following problems:
* DirectX (and thus DirectInput) driver not functional when using an
OpenGL SDL_Surface.
* DirectX (and thus DirectInput) driver not functional in windowed mode.
* Mouse buttons 4-7 unusable with the DirectX driver due to DirectInput 5
not exposing the required functionality. Use DirectInput 7 instead.
* Low quality mouse input data when using the windib driver due to use of
WM_MOUSEMOVE events. Use GetCursorPos API call instead.
The patch can be found in misc/sdl-win32-fixes.diff.
