Hi, I'm having a strange problem in Quake 3 with an original Radeon (Radeon 7200 / R100) with XFree86 4.3.0 running on -CURRENT from 13 march. Someone else with a Radeon 7500, also running X 4.3.0 on a recent -CURRENT, is experiencing the same problem. Mouse movements are lagging behind about 1 to 2 seconds when entering any menu in Quake 3 that has moving objects (like the main menu) and when trying to play the game. This doesn't mean that it doesn't look smooth - it's running about 60fps - but the mouse movement just comes 1 or 2 seconds later than when I made it. We tried installing the newest Quake 3 point release (1.32b) to fix the problem. This didn't help. Are more people experiencing this problem? Is there a fix for this?
