And that problem happened in both OS? Could you upload your q3config.cfg here? (It's located on D&S/<user>/Application Data/OpenArena/baseoa on Win, and in Home/<user>/.openarena/baseoa on Ubuntu AFAIK)

Have you checked on %OAfolder%/baseoa, being %OAfolder% the folder where you've installed OA?

note that openarena uses a special folder in "C:\Documents and Settings\????\Application Data\OpenArena\baseoa\" (win xp) for configs and downloaded external pk3-files. the config-file should be in there.

"cl_freelook 1" <-- should be one as you stated in your first post

does the mouse work in the menus?

does the mouse work in the openarena menus? or is it just broken in-game?

go into "setup / control" and make sure that freelook is on.
