           Summary: Fallout: mouse doesn't move at all
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-directx
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: wsapplegate at myrealbox.com


Executive summary : 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Fallout is and old (circa 1997) RPG, published by Interplay. Upon recently 
trying to reinstall the game, I came across a problem : the mouse wouldn't 
move. Even performing the installation through the keyboard wasn't of much 
help, since the game exhibited the same problems (it also grabbed my pointer, 
I needed to escape the uncontrollable game window by changing virtual desktop 
and moving the pointer out of the way). 
 
Analysis : 
~~~~~~~~~~ 
Quite frankly, I really don't know enough about DirectInput to know why that 
problem appeared, but I've at least found what causes it. The problem appears 
since WINE 20040615, which has seen an overhaul of several DirectInput-related 
files. The problem is located in the file dlls/dinput/device.c and has 
apparently been caused by a CVS commit on 2004-06-02[1]. In the function 
create_DataFormat(), the following lines are changed : 
 
-               (wine_format->rgodf[i].dwType & 
asked_format->rgodf[j].dwType)) { 
+               (/* Then check if it accepts any instance id, and if not, if 
it matches Wine's 
+                 * instance id. 
+                 */ 
+                ((asked_format->rgodf[j].dwType & 0x00FFFF00) == 
DIDFT_ANYINSTANCE) || 
+                (DIDFT_GETINSTANCE(wine_format->rgodf[i].dwType) == 
DIDFT_GETINSTANCE(asked_format->rgodf[j].dwType)))) { 
 
Reverting this change makes the mouse to work again.

How to reproduce : 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Assuming you have a Fallout CD in drive D:, 
 
* run "wine 'd:\\_setup.exe'" (alternatively, if the game is already 
installed, run "wine <path to the game directory>\falloutw.exe") 
* notice you cannot move the mouse 
 
Solutions and workarounds : 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
I've found no workaround for this problem. Reverting the change in 
create_DataFormat() works for me, but is probably incorrect (I haven't been 
able to ascertain what effects it could have on other DirectInput-based 
software).
