Mouse won't work in 1.32 (linux)

I recently patched my Quake 3 to version 1.32. Now Mouse is locked in the upperleft corner of the screen and doesn't respond. Works fine with version 1.29.

I'm using Debian with the 2.6.12 kernel.

I've tried both ps2 and usb ports for mouse.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Tried that console command, didn't make any difference.
I noticed that the mouse buttons work fine, but somehow the motion is disabled.

Guys, Stop spamming in here..


saquel, Try +mlook in console, and see if it will allow you to move the mouse.

No difference in window mode either. But when i toggle console in window mode, I can move the mouse cursor. Toggling console off disables the mouse motion again.

Make sure you're running PR 1.32b-3 and have in_dgamouse set to 1.

command version in console gives this:

"Q3 1.32 linux-i386 Oct 7 200" default: "Q3 1.32 linux-i386 Oct 7 2002"

I'm not sure if it's the latest version. The update in idsoftware.com is not downloadable. (Too many users - Pleas try again later).

in_dgamouse is set to 1.

it's up to date. why don't you try the simplest thing first and re-install 1.32 since that's when it broke?

It isn't the most recent version for Linux. Get that one here.
