no touchpad input linux mint BfW 1.6.5?
i have a dell mini 10v with linux mint 9 fully updated with BfW 1.6.5 installed. i am able to set the resolution of the game with the "--resultion" option in command line, so thats fine, but when i go to play the game, it finds the cursor, because buttons highlight when i roll over them, but i get no response when i click. i get full response when i use an external mouse and display. any other details i can provide?
i have also tried playing the 1.8.1 and i get the same thing.

Re: no touchpad input linux mint BfW 1.6.5?
i would like to provide a true fix to this issue for those who are running ubuntu, linux mint, or any other linux debian based distro that supports adding ppa:blahblahblah/blah type repos.
this should fix the problem without having to downgrade libraries or disable compiz, or other screwy loopholes.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ajmitch/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Are you sure it's Linux Mint 9? Last time I looked it was only released to Linux Mint 8 Helena. I could be wrong, but I'm sure It wasn't even that long ago.

yep, i was running mint 9. it was released just recently, so that may be the reason you dont know about it. it is based off ubuntu 10.04.

What exactly does that repository contain?steve19137 wrote:i would like to provide a true fix to this issue for those who are running ubuntu, linux mint, or any other linux debian based distro that supports adding ppa:blahblahblah/blah type repos.

*edit*
well, whatever it contains, I used it, and I can vouch that it works to fix the no-mouse-input problem.

A patched version of libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14. Debian has both 1.2.13 (which doesn't have the bug) and the patched version of 1.2.14. For some reason, ubuntu still has only the unpatched 1.2.14 in 10.04.
