A couple of observations: 1) You're using NVidia's proprietary server driver. I can't support that. Can you reproduce the problem using a different brand of video card, or with the "vesa" or "vga" drivers? 2) It sounds like RTCW had the pointer grabbed when it died. Most of what you saw was probably to be expected, then. Of course, it's not good that the X client crashed, but that's proprietary software, too. So I guess the bug here is that the mouse's acceleration parameters got messed up? -- G.
