Description Göran Uddeborg 2012-02-19 18:15:13 UTC
Description of problem:
We have tried to get Skyrim to run under Fedora 16 for a while.  The game installs, but when running the mouse control very "jumpy" and moves around uncontrollable.  We tried several different tricks suggested on the WineHQ page for the game (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24749), but nothing helped.

There have been several reports on WineHQ from people running this game successfully, so we assumed it wasn't the game itself that was incompatible.  Most of those people had been running Ubuntu, and none Fedora, so we decided to try that on the same hardware.  And it ran fine from the start.  With good quality on graphics etc.

The Wine version in Ubuntu was older, so we first thought this could be a Wine regression.  But then we tried the latest Wine for Ubuntu on the WineHQ site (http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu) and it still works fine.  (And a silly cursor bug is gone.)

We asked in the comment list on WineHQ, and got the suggestion that this might be because of the Fedora Wine being configured with --disable-xinput2.  So we downloaded the source RPM, removed that flag, and rebuilt.  But the problem was still there.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Hardware:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti
AMD Athlon II X3 445
4 GB memory
Dell U2412M, 1920x1200

Fedora software:
    wine 1.3.36
AND wine 1.3.37
AND wine 1.3.37 with xinput2 enabled
kmod-nvidia 290.10

Ubuntu software:
    wine1.3 1.3.28
AND wine1.3 1.3.37
AND wine1.3 1.4-rc4

same here, last time it was playable for me was 1.3.24 I believe

Comment 2 Göran Uddeborg 2012-05-05 16:56:12 UTC
It seems it was xinput2 after all.  I don't know why the rebuild of wine with xinput2 enabled didn't help.  But when Andreas Bierfert reenabled xinput2 in the official wine-1.5.2-2.fc16, the problem did go away.
