openarena: Most control key doesn't work in ioquake3 based games
Last modified: 2012-05-12 06:17:43 EDT
Description of problem: Most control key in the game does not work at all. (for example WASD key) But some keys only work well. (Fuction key, allow key, ESC key, etc.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : openarena Version : 0.8.5 Release : 4.fc16 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. play any game mode 2. press w key Actual results: It't not work at all. Expected results: Forward movement Additional info: It seems ioquake engine has the problem. it reproduced in Urbanterror. In F15, it has not the problem.
I found a workaround. Killing ibus-daemon, it works fine.
My environment is "Japanese" and JP106 keyboard.
It seems openarena need the 3D accelerator but my VM has a problem with Fedora 16. I would need time to get the stable VM also openarena is too big 300 MB for me. It would be nice if I could try another light weight app.
I cannot run openarena which asks 3D accelerator but I can run gnome-shell which needs 3D accelerator too. I'm not sure about the configuration about openarena. ibus owns Control+space and if you'd like to change it, 'ibus-setup' command provides the customization. Also you could check the latest ibus: # yum install ibus
OK, now I can use openarena and I'm also able to use Esc key to show the menu. Probably I think you need to use the latest ibus.
Sorry about this late reply. It works properly with latest ibus (ibus-1.4.1-2.fc16.i686).
