I once had this very strange bug with Doom3 on Windows XP (not Wine). From that
very bug I came to understand how Windows XP handles the mouse in FPS games:

It keeps track of the position of the mouse cursor but simplay doesn't display
it and reads out the movement of the mouse too.

So when I played doom, the mouse cursor was displayed. When I moved my mouse to
the right, the camera turned right. When I turn it left, the camera turned
left, etc, etc.. When the mouse hit the side of the screen, the camera kept
going in the direction I moved the mouse.

So... Mouse movement used by DirectInput and also by whatever handles the
cursor, but the cursor just isn't displayed and can't focus...

I am not an experienced programmer but this should be extremely easy to
implement correctly, in a non ugly manner...
