Xgl gaming issues

[rabid emu]

Several games (alien arena, warsow) somehow invert the x and y axis of the mouse when running in xgl. I'm running an ati x1600. anyone know a workaround for this?

xgame (http://xgame.tlhiv.org/), although i had problems getting that to work in ubuntu, i could only get it to run as root

or a better option (although you lose the ability to 'alt tab' as it were back to your desktop) is the nonXgl (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176636&highlight=nonXgl) script

Thanks a lot, I'll give xgame a try. On a side note, I do have 3d acceleration and opengl working with games. It just screws up the mouse axis for some reason, and seeing other people with the same problem leads me to believe it's an xgl, and perhaps ati, issue.

As mention Above try nonXgl Script

here a link

I'm hesitant to try that because of this:
CAVEAT:
1) I have only tested this on GNOME.
2) lithorus has reported that this does not work with the fglrx (ATI) driver. Trying the below with the same will result in an XGL crash.
and I am using a fgrlx driver.

if you read down through the thread it would seem that thats fixed with the latest ati drivers

what about nexuiz on xgl beryl with ATI video card ?
I heard that there supposed to be a script for nonxgl but I can't find it anyware.

That xgame script didn't work out too well. Maybe I did something wrong, but it just hung in the new x session. I was able to shut down ok (not a hard shutdown) but I'd rather not deal with that again. I'll give the second method a try then.
