Linux: more weirdness
I noticed in one game, "neverball" that my mouse wasn't working properly. Yesterday I installed another game "criticalmass" and I noticed that basically the mouse was stuck to the right. This kinda thing doesn't happen in Windows! It turns out it's the SDL library that some games use. I just put: SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE to "0". in my /etc/profile and the problem disappears. Looks like I also solved my sound problems. Turns out when I edited my esd.conf file I left out a bracket when I copied and pasted some information from the Internet.
