             Bug #: 32930
           Summary: Age of wonders 2 and to a lesser extent Age of wonders
                    shadow magic suffer from mouse lag when on direct3d
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

I may be overreaching with the conclusions but it seems that a well known
design problem of Direct3d/windows device api made the jump to wine, even
though a normal workaround in windows is to 'use opengl'.

These games suffer from what is commonly called 'floating cursor' or mouse lag
if configured with direct3d (supposedly the hardware mode and the most
efficient). If you search for 'direct3d mouse lag' you come across numerous
blogs/forums explaining the cause.

So this is a bit of a problem for those games and probably more. Even a wine
registry hack would be nice
