Hi! When I'm playing some 3d games, such as world of padman or openarena, mouse cursor keeps moving itself to other places. This doesn't happen with windows games in wine. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 with NVidia restricted drivers, but i had the very same problem with Debian Sid. Can someone help me finding the problem and fix it somehow?

Do you have a joypad connected? Because I remember having the exactly same problem with all Quake3-based engines on Linux. When you run the game, you should bring the "game console", usually with "~" and disable the joypad (can't remember the command for the Quake3 engine). That or disconnect the joystick/unload the modules

I have no joypad connected and this happen not just with quake-based games, it happen in Widelands if I use fullscreen, yet, it works perfect in a window, maybe it is some different problem...
Thanks for helping

rpgraca,
i seem to experience the same problems.
in Nexuiz i was able to fix it by setting vid_dgamouse variable to 0. default is 1. documentation for this cvar says "make use of DGA mouse input", whatever that means.
for Aliena Arena setting in_dgamouse to 0 worked.
one interesting observation is that Nexuiz SDL does not experience mouse problems, but Nexuiz GLX does. i'm using nvidia bin drivers as well.
so it might be related to OpenGL rendering.
just wanted to leave a note that connecting my usb mouse to the regular ps/2 connector (with adapter) solved the problem for me. mouse works now fine in all shooters I had problems before.
In my case it was unclutter. Killing the process removed the problem. You can tell unclutter which windows to ignore by name or regex too. See unlcutter --help
