[Resolved] No cursor with ScummWM 0.13 on Ubuntu Jaunty

[panthael]

Hi nostalgeeks!

I have a little issue with the fullscreen mode.
I run KUbuntu Jaunty (9.04) with KDE4 and I've installed the version of ScummVm downloaded here (the one for Intrepid Ibex, i386)

Everything's fine, but when I switch to fullscreen mode, the cursor is centered and I cannot move it with the mouse.
When I leave the fullscreen mode, the cursor is working again and I can play.

Someone knows what's the problem ?

(if you need more info about my config, tell me )


Thanks in advance !

Do you by any chance have an Intel Graphics video chip?

There are some serious issues going on with the new Ubuntu and some Intel Graphcis chipsets.
This thread gives a nice overview of the problem. The best solution at this moment seems to revert to the old driver if you have this problem.

I use a nVidia nForce2 and I don't have the intel chipset.

Try setting the SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE env var to 0 (see also here around 0:32).

hem sorry, I'm feeling like a newbie, but I don't know how to set this environment variable :s

[bobdevis]

open a console window and give the following command;

Code: Select all

SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 scummvm

hem sorry, I'm feeling like a newbie, but I don't know how to set this environment variable :s

Try this:

* Open a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
* In the terminal type: SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 scummvm

Note that this only sets the env. var for this particular run of ScummVM, search the internet on how to set it permanently if this turns out to fix your problem.
