Aha. That's a completely different problem, then. Perhaps getting
dlls/dinput/mouse/main.c back to revision 1.39 is the old code you're
looking for?

Fixing it for real (i.e. without losing the improved mouse responsivity
in 1.40 onwards) might be harder to do properly though. In
windows/x11drv/event.c there's this code:

    case MotionNotify:
      if ((current_input_type == X11DRV_INPUT_ABSOLUTE) && 
          (in_transition == FALSE)) {
        /* if we have many consecutive MotionNotify events, 
         * improve responsiveness by skipping all but the last one */
        if (EVENT_CheckIsEvent( display, MotionNotify, event->xmotion.window )) {
          TRACE("skipping\n");
          break;
        }
      }
      X11DRV_MotionNotify( hWnd, (XMotionEvent*)event );
      break;

Now just remove all the skip crap so it becomes:

    case MotionNotify:
      X11DRV_MotionNotify( hWnd, (XMotionEvent*)event );
      break;

and dinput should work fine again in windowed mode. However, non-dinput
(ordinary win32 messaging) input may suffer. Need to find a solution
that lets both work optimally.
