Have Mouse Problems In Unity3D Games On Linux? See Here For Fixes

Quoting: DrMcCoy
Quoting: Xpanderit seems to be issue with 1920x1080 native monitor resolution
No issues with e16 on Gentoo with 1920x1080.
so its still totaly random then..
my friend has also 1920x1080 and mate desktop with marco and doesnt have such issues.. while i do.
but not with every game.. just with Verdun, Legends of Aetherus and Rust.
Guns of Icarus, Doorways and Planet Explorers work just fine.

anyway xfwm and starting in windowed then switching to fullscreen fixes the issue for me for every game..

still crappy bug.. hope its fixed in unity5

What about higher? I'm running ratpoision, no compositing and 1920x1200 on my main monitor with no common issues on Unity games.
i dont know anyone with higher resolutions that have issues with it

nope.. it happens for me with marco and and with xfwm as well.
without compositing.

it seems to be issue with 1920x1080 native monitor resolution, anything lower than that doesnt cause the issue.

also with xfwm i can start game in windowed mode and then when in menus i alt+space and switch to fullscreen. no issues with mouse then.. cant do that with marco however.

this is why i completely switched to ROCCAT few years ago. having Kova+ mouse and Arvo Keyboard.
just amazing stuff...
still thinking about getting their mechanical keyboard.. a bit expensive but might be well worth it...

Stefan has always been helpful in the help discussions on sourceforge when i have needed some help or asked about something.
thank you Stefan Achatz
and also thank you ROCCAT for giving this man the hardware to do such stuff.

Epic Games & Mozilla Give Sneak Peak At Unreal Engine 4 In The Browser
18 Mar 2014 at 8:39 pm UTC

i dont like my games inside the browsers... i just want to browse web in it.
since i have a habbit of having 50+ tabs open all the time, it would be kind a hardcore with games runnin on some of them.
also browser based games seem to be less open to mods and stuff.

last time i had 2 linux distros (arch and mint) i just had both of them linked to same /home partition
