Mouse Stops Working In Games

I just installed Slackware 13 last night, and I'm having a problem with my games. The mouse works fine on the desktop, but in a game, the mouse doesn't respond at all. I tried different window managers, but the only thing that seems to solve the problem for a while is a reboot. Any ideas?

Well, I know that with games that use SDL, if you are using the evdev driver, the mouse will not respond unless you have this in your '/etc/X11/xorg.conf':

Code:

Section "Module"
	SubSection  "extmod"
		Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension
	EndSubSection
EndSection

If that section exists, just add the subsection stuff to it.

Thanks, I'll try that.
