Hi
I'm not sure if I understood your problem. I assume that you have 
problem with application behavior when you move your mouse on long 
distances (i.e. bigger than your normal distance to move cursor between 
screen's corners). If not, please ignore this post.

For me, it seems to be related with the following bug:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971

Unfortunately, it is not yet solved. However, you may try to use one of 
patches attached on the bugzilla. Personally, when I had problem with 
camera rotation in FPS game, I was using this patch:

http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=11303

For me it worked perfectly, so it may be good start point for you.
If you don't know how to apply patch, see:

In case of any problem, please ask. I'll try to help you.
