See bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971 for programs that are 
currently broken. That's an example of what you will get it you completely 
remove mouse warping.

Yes Quake2 and all based on it games are the best example. However Q2 has a 
bug in mouse initializing code which will fail to properly acquire dinput 
mouse and will revert back to not using dinput. But it some cases (some 
games) it will acquire mouse in non-exclusive mode - the part which is 
broken atm.

For a simple test - download DXSDK it has dinput mouse test.
