Hi, I've got Q2 working in Linux but the mouse doesn't work, from the console or from under X. The game (I think) is running under VT 8 and X under VT 7. I think this because I can switch to VT 7 (QII still on the screen because of 3DFX card) and sometimes the mouse will work (when the mouse happens to move over QII's window?) but the keyboard stops working. I then switch back to VT 8 and the keyboard starts to work again. How can I get this to work properly? PS #1 - Where can I get updated "lib3dfxgl.so"? The Mesa ones were too slow IMO. PS #2 - Sometimes (only since upgrading the kernel) I get a message about GPM saying that I should update my software to use /dev/<something> TIA -- Paul Richards (AKA Pauldoo) mailto:pauldoo@dunvegan1.demon.co.uk http://www.dunvegan1.demon.co.uk/pauldoo/info.html
