Hi,

I've still got the mouse cursor problems as described in 
<[email protected]>.

Game: Ragnarok Online (www.euro-ro.net),
cedega 4.0, 4.0.1 precompiled and winex3 cvs.

When the game starts, there's some kind of a preloader that checks wheather 
the Ragnarok client is up to date. If not, it tries to download the missing 
patches which doesn't work within winex3/cedega but doesn't matter, since I 
bought a copy of crossover office, which is capable of doing this.
When the patch client says "ok, you're up to date", there's a button "start 
the game" which, when pressed, loads a DirectX rendered intro screen where I 
can enter username and password. The mouse cursor shape is replaced by 
Ragnarok's own (it's pretty common that games are doing that, I think).

Problem: I am able to move the mouse but it snaps right back to it's origin, 
just like there's a gum attached to it. Changing video modes didn't help, 
neither did running full screen / windowed mode.

In the recent thread about mouse problems in Ragnarok there was a post 
<Pine.LNX.4.44_heb2.10.0402141327410.19638-200000@localhost.localdomain>
which included a patch to this warping problem (and that patch worked). 
Unfortunately, the latest self-compiled winex3 cvs version returns a segfault 
when starting Ragnarok, older cvs versions I saved became uncapable of 
running that game without errors (some internal game errors occur) and I 
cannot find the cedega cvs..

Regards,

Phil
