Bug 420

Summary: gnome hijacks keys from under RTCW:ET (game) and then locks up keyboard (tilde key is the culprit)

I filed it in launchpad as gnome bug, but after some thought I downloaded latest svn of libsdl, compiled, ran ET with 
export LD_PRELOAD=./libSDL-1.3.so.0.exe ./et.x86.exe 

and it seem to work (30 minutes of game, so maybe I played to little).

How can I test if its libsdl, is my preload command line working at all (ET doesnt say "initializing libsdl 1.x.x") or debug it in any other way further?

I don't think this is an SDL bug.

--ryan.
Comment 3 rasz 2007-07-03 06:37:03 UTC 
I dont know what is/was it, I just gave up and configured separate X server for ET
