Just plugging dinput into XI2 via x11.drv will work. But is not the best solution - it doesn't help with RawInput. However this might do just fine until RawInput is actually implemented. Vitaliy.

Will WIne include the patch once it exists and is accepted or will the Wine team only include it once all major distros use the new Xorg? I'm really looking forward XInput2 in Wine, but maybe both could be in the Wine source, but enabling XInput 2 by a compiler flag or registry key? The presence of an X extension can be discovered at run-time, so when XInput2 isn't around we would fall back to the old code. Roderick
Current status of XI2 mouse stuff now that Lucid Lynx includes XI2?
I recall that Paul Hampson did a first cut at using XI2, linked to from the bottom of http://wiki.winehq.org/DInput, and http://wiki.winehq.org/Bug6971 says the new XInput2 X11 extension (which is part of XOrg 7.5) provides relative mouse motion events. Once this extension is more common, we will be able to fix Wine properly. Well, here it is, and XI2 is said to be included in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Alpha 2; so it's about to get a lot more common. Has anybody tried it out lately? What's Paul's status? Incidentally, I just noticed a page about how somebody made the transition to XI2 on another project, see http://www.clearchain.com/blog/posts/xinput-1-xinput-2-conversion-guide - Dan

Status of XI2 mouse stuff?
Hi all, I remember seeing an email that someone had implemented DX mouse input using the new XInput2 extensions. What's the status of that? Is it in Wine already? Cheers, Luke.
Re: Status of XI2 mouse stuff?
Hi Luke, Paul Hampson (TBBle on IRC) worked on it. He has some patches but some cleaning up and restructuring (e.g. adding some new tasks to explorer.exe) and more is needed to get it into Wine. I'm not sure what the current status is. You can find his email in the wine-devel archives.
