Aristotle Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 I installed Quake 3 Arena on my Linux box. It runs fine except it doesnt move the crosshair cursor at all when I move the mouse. It is like my mouse is not even connected. I have googled but have found little or no help whatsoever. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Aristotle Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 I found out what the error was. The binaries I used were an older version for Quake 3 Arena on Linux. What I needed to install was the 1.32b patch. This corrected the immobile mouse problem. Now the game runs excellently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmike02 Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Hmm I have since got a nvidia card for my computer, I might give linux gaming another go. Before I had an ati radeon and apparantly nforce2 dosent go to well with that and linux, well at least that was a good few months ago, maybe its sorted now, I dont know.

Propane Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 It might of changed in 2.6 (will be trying soon) but, yes, there is a difcultly in 2.4.x and i even got a new nic to eliminate the need for nforce2 support (also had to recompile the kernel for sound >.<) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmike02 Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 Yeah I had terrible trouble like that. I kept having to recompile the kernel each time I wanted something to work, first sound, then graphics etc. In the end I gave up with my onboard NIC and just stuck in a PCI one that I know works. I was using red hat 9 then. Does anyone know of a distro that comes with 2.6 as standard or at least an option. It would save me the hassle of upgrading.
