[Bug-freedink] Bug#690483: freedink: Mouse cursor keeps going up - game unplayable

[Alois Mahdal]

Package: freedink
Version: 1.08.20120427-2.1
Severity: important

Right after installing game with `sudo aptitude install freedink`, I tried to 
running
the game but it suffered from a strange behavior: the mouse cursor was 
constanatly going
up by itself.

While quite tricky, it was still possible to "fight" the movement soi I was 
able to hit
"Start" from the main menu, but that turned out to be not such a good idea.  
After the
initial dialog, all Dink would do was push the north wall on and on.  And this 
time the
motion was not possible to overcome---All I could do was to switch to console 
(using
C-A-F6) and kill the process.

My machine is ThinkPad R500 and the mouse is Microsoft Arc, although I doubt 
this was
related to mouse as the pproblem persisted even after pulling receiver (the 
mouse is
a wireless one) out of USB slot.

Also: I ran the game from Xfce.
