Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Every game which should use 3D and mouse, I found the view points to one direction and i can only rotate the view. In eg. Team Fortress 2, PayDay 2. GDM3, with wayland, i915 kernel driver. Any idea? I was trying to adjust with:

xinput list --name-only|while read i; do xinput list-props "$i";done

but no luck. Any idea?

Is this Steam-specific somehow? You might want to ask in a forum related to your distro.

I think it's steam specific, in case you'd like to support steam on linux. As a debian developer, I'm trying to debug it as much as possible, but not familiar with wayland, which is the candidate as X on debian. It might happen on SteamOS as well. :)

Can you give details as to why you think it's Steam-specific?

TTamasSzerb 2016-06-29 github

Hello,

OK, you're right, it's not steam related:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Wayland_problems#Mouse_locking_and_relative_mouse_movement_is_not_implemented_yet.2C_affecting_games

I also tried it with openarena, exactly the same what I experienced with Steam games.

I'm sorry about my report. Feel free to close it, and I'd recommend to advertise that information/page to the people.

Thanks,
