doom 3
I downloaded the Doom3 for linux shellscript and copied the files from my CD's and everything looks great and technically works. But the mouse control isn't very good. In fact it's bad enough that it's no fun to play.
I'm going to guess how a mouse works here. I'm thinking the computer polls it and sees how far you moved the mouse since last time it polled. Well, in Doom3 I can't move the mouse slow. Suppose my crosshairs are a few millimeters from where I want to be. I'm screwed. I can't zero in on anything because Doom3 will only pick up fast movements. I think it only considers your mouse movement if it moved a large amount between polls.
I don't understand why. The pointer works fine in KDE, I can move very slow and zero in on anything. It's just no fun in KDE because there's no zombies to shoot at.
If it works in X and KDE then xorg.conf is correct, isn't it? I have an old IBM USB, 3 button mouse. Two buttons with a scroll button in the middle.
xorg.conf:
I commented out the old settings and tried putting in my own settings. It still works the same. And I tried changing the m_smooth and sensitivity values in Doom3, I tried the max and min and everything in between. I'm stuck.
I've played Doom3 in windows and it works fine. I know something is wrong with the mouse input on my Slackware machine. But I don't know what.

I don't get it. Actually I already found that page before I posted here but I didn't realize it was the solution. So it's an xorg bug? Most of the links they list are dead. The only good link I found was to patches supposedly but all I could find was a PKGBUILD text file and a mouse-int-to-float.diff text file. I don't know what to do with them.
...wait. I just clicked on the .diff file and it opened Kompare instead of Kedit. So... it's not a text file, it's a diff file. What the hell is a diff file. Hold on.
So xorg has a .h file called inputstr.h and it's saving the remainder of the x and y movements as int instead of float? Huh, neat. So that's why large movements worked. I was losing my remainder all the time I just only noticed if I tried to move a small distance.
I don't get this Kompare program that automatically opened. It looks like I can pick apply difference and it will update my /include/Inputstr.h file automatically. But then don't I have to recompile something? And what is that PKGBUILD file for?

I think that PKGBUILD file is a shellscript for Ubuntu. It looks like on Ubuntu the inputstr.h file is in a directory called /include. I think if you have both mouse-int-to-float.diff and PKGBUILD in the correct directory on Ubuntu you can just run the PKGBUID shellscript and it automatically modifies the inputstr.h file and then it runs autoconf and all that stuff and fixes the xorg bug for you.
I'm on the Slackware 12.2. My inputstr.h file is in /usr/include/xorg Where would I need to run the shellscript and would it even work for me?
My dxremaind and dyremaind are both type int. Can I just change them to float myself and recompile X?

(Assuming everything else here is correct, I haven't really researched this thread's issue.) In short, yes. However, according to the freedesktop.org bugs page from the linux-gamers.net thread linked above, it will break ABI. Meaning that anything that uses ValuatorClassRec would need to be recompiled also, potentially making a mess of things quickly. I'm unsure of how public of an interface ValuatorClassRec is.
Xorg-server 1.5 and newer includes this fix already.
So you went to this link?:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13808
I never went to it. At first I thought it was a dead link but I never bothered to read the page it showed me. Actually Firefox was just telling me it had an unknown certificate. ...I don't think xorg would be linking to virus infested websites. Hell, I don't know what an unknown certificate is, maybe that's a good thing.
I guess I'll try to figure out how to install xorg-server 1.5 then? I know pkgtool will do that for me.
If I try compiling something like this myself then I'll probably be formatting my hard drive and re-installing my OS the next weekend.

Augh. There is no xorg-server 1.5 package for slackware. ...so do I wait for the experts to make one or do I try compiling xorg server and installing it myself? Oh boy.
Well, xorg 1.5 comes with no readme file. It has an install shellscript which I don't really understand very well and a configure file. So do I run the shellscript or do I do ./configure, make, make install?
I'm gonna go try it. Pray for me. If I don't make it back then I destroyed my system and notify my next of kin.
************
Alright, nevermind, I give up. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm gonna play Warcraft III and whenever slackware decides to start using xorg-server 1.5 or I can find packages then I'll worry about Doom 3.

Timezone issues? I don't know.
With regards to Quake, you could temporarily install a different distro alongside Slackware and go dual boot until Slackware starts shipping a newer X.org. Ubuntu, Fedora and quite a few others ship X.org 1.5 or even 1.6.
