Ok, I've got WoW running in Wine, no issues. I don't know whether the problem itself is with Wine, or a video driver somewhere. I've reinstalled the video drivers, no luck. Basically, I've got a geforce 7600GT with dual monitors, xinerama, everything works like a champ. worked last week no problems. unplugged it all, moved it to my new place, doesnt work. Could be an update that installed, I'm not sure. When I load WoW, it comes up on the proper screen, but my mouse is stuck on the opposite screen, and cant move more than about 3 inches and reloads itself to it's original position in the corner every couple of seconds. It's running in openGL, audio works, just a crazy mouse.

This is all speculation, because I do not run a dual monitor setup. I am also unfamiliar with xinerama, although I know it basically is for dual monitors.

Have you already tried going back to a 1 monitor configuration?

Something along the lines of:

- go back to 1 monitor configuration.
- load up WoW, so that it shows up in just 1 monitor.
- Change the video options so that WoW plays in Windowed mode. First trying with Maximized, and then without.

After setting WoW to play in Windowed mode, try logging out and then re-enabling whatever you need to in order to go back to a dual monitor setup. Maybe this would trick the mouse into working?

A complete shot in the dark, but worth trying I think.
