Title: During Gameplay - keyboard and mouse actions get lost Post by: High_Yield on January 22, 2008, 03:44:56 PM Hi-
This ?may? be two different issues: 1) While playing online (have not tested local), sometimes my WASD (Forward, back, etc..) keys simply stop working. It's very brief and if i release the key then immediately press W(forward), I start moving again. Seems to happen at the WORST times, when rockets are flying, sounds going, ppl shooting at me etc... but does happen occasionaly otherwise as well. Keyboard is standard PS2, motherbaord is new 12/2007 and works fine otherwise (meaning the WASD keys do not stick etc..) 2) My MS USB mouse screws up <during rocket jumping ONLY>. I have mouse1 as attack(like everyone) and then mouse2 bound to JUMP. So, when I wanna Rocket jump, I look down, press the right mouse button, then the left button in fast succession. However, this works only ~50% of the time. Sometimes jump will not work, sometimes fire will not work, and sometimes neither works and I end up running forwards and looking at my feet ;( then I usually die. Anyone else have this issue ? I'm running 64 bit Gutsy but same thing happened on different PC running 32 bit gutsy. All else is fine - get LOW PING to some servers and still kik ass but...

But as for your mouse problem, there is a fix for it. Go to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and locate the following entry after having made a backup of the file: Code: Section "InputDevice" Code: Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Code: Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Title: Re: During Gameplay - keyboard and mouse actions get lost Post by: High_Yield on January 23, 2008, 10:39:56 AM Wow - worked like a charm and thank you...
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" did the trick ;) Side note - how does one "restart X"? I simply rebooted the PC but how can I bounce the service ? Thanks again - B Title: Re: During Gameplay - keyboard and mouse actions get lost Post by: Derity on January 23, 2008, 11:31:02 AM restart x: ctrl+alt+del

On Debian I stop GDM : Code: /etc/init.d/gdm stop Title: Re: During Gameplay - keyboard and mouse actions get lost Post by: High_Yield on January 24, 2008, 09:31:17 AM Great - thanks to all.
By the way, it SEEMS that the mouse fix has also stopped my keyboard problems as well - but only time will tell. Either way great help and thanks again... - B |
