Bug#450851: xserver-xorg-input-evdev: pointer constatntly moves down-right in captured state (most of games) when using evdev

["Heikki Hokkanen" <hoxu@users.sf.net>]

severity 450851 important
thanks

Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:1.2.0-1

Same problem here, pointer seems to be moving irrationally in nexuiz,
although that does not happen if you lift it up (eg. normal movement
events are not created either). Sebastian Dalfuß's "export
SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0" tip works for nexuiz.

I'm bumping the severity as this bug seems to have "a major effect on
the usability of the package" - I think many people use evdev to
exploit all the buttons in FPS games, and this bug renders a lot of
those games unusable.

It was also mentioned above that Logitech mouses are not the only ones
affected, but for what it's worth, mine is "Logitech, Inc. MX518
Optical Mouse".

Regards,
