Albeit being a bit ancient way already, it's default for all of these games (in_dgamouse). The huge problem is, with 12.04 version of X, mouse scroll works completely randomly through DGA input, and more you press keys from the keyboard, more the scroll gets stuck. I have development version of Warsow which supports input through Xinput2, but scrolling doesn't work correctly through Xinput2 either. Reading input directly from evdev does not have this problem (or 11.10). 1) Expected: Mouse scroll respons on up/down scrolling. 2) What happens: Mouse scroll doesn't respond at all, respons randomly, or respons only after you stop pushing keys from the keyboard. It gets especially bad if you move / press keyboard while trying to scroll - then it doesn't respond at all. If you let go of movement keys, it takes around 1-2 seconds before mouse scroll respons again. Stops responding again on stressing the keyboard input. 3) How to reproduce: Bind next/previous weapon in any quake-derivated game or *ANY game that uses dgamouse* for input to MWHEELUP/MWHEELDOWN, press keyboard while doing it (regular in-game movement for example), and see how mouse scroll stops responding. This basically breaks every single game I play on Linux.
