I found that all I need to do to get round this is set the ENV

SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0

Ugh, should have tested this on more than the menues.

It does work in game also, but it's useless as you can't spin round and round by continuing to move the mouse in one direction - you come to a stop.

With "dix: don't create core motion events for non-x/y valuators." reverted (on top of git master up to commit 853d7ebfa3e2d281d92890a39010ff5787a00ffd) I have my mouse cursor in doom3-demo back! But older glxquake still can't be controlled  with mouse at all - it sees no events!

I'll add my log files for two runs: standard and with commit de8be07cc0a8163b6ef04455706fd5ca2cebe587 reverted

With de8be07cc0a8163b6ef04455706fd5ca2cebe587 reverted

In doom3-demo X log spammed with "[dix] XIGetDevice failed on XACE restrictions (149)", but in glxquake there was no such errors, so i  assume there are two bugs?

This got picked up in 1.9.1rc1, so we need to either fix this or revert the change.  If I don't have anything by next Friday to address this, I'll just revert it and put out 1.9.1rc2.

Andrew, I know you were testing with master, but would you mind jumping over to the 1.9 branch and trying out glxquake and doom3-demo (with and without the reversion).  Not all the input patches landed in 1.9-branch, so I'm curious if the glxquake issue is specific to master or in 1.9-branch as well.

Compiling 1.9 branch ... Bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30198 can be duplicate of this bug, i'll post my results here.

same error/bug IS present here, for both glxquake and doom3-demo.

X log with "dix: don't create core motion events for non-x/y valuators." reverted

Server from 1.9 branch, only one commit reverted:

Revert "dix: don't create core motion events for non-x/y valuators."
    This reverts commit d4ef63f602325a9920dc1cbf64e3969dfa394d5f.

On this branch single revert seems to cure mouse problem in BOTH glxquake and doom3-demo!

Jeremy, please revert this patch for now. it needs a follow-up patch for DGA in master but that's not good enough for the 1.9.1 timeframe.
