Has anyone tried running Celestia?

same problem with mouse here

I think the problem in this package:
xorg-x11-driver-input

From YaST2 Change log:
xf86-input-mouse 1.6.0
* This update to the mouse driver used mainly on non-Linux
systems adds Xorg 1.9 ABI support to the Solaris-specific
code, Genius NetScroll+ serial autodetection, and a number
of minor bug fixes and a large number of cleanups &
configuration improvements.

I think they clean to much.

P.S. I'm using openSUSE 11.3 + KDE 4.5.2 + R300 (Gallium)

I tested celestia with Mesa-git a few days ago and it was running beautifully with the OpenGL 2.0 renderer. (This was with my RV790.)

xf86-input-mouse 1.6.0

What about using evdev instead?

I just tried r600c and r600g with Ubuntu Maverick and xorg-edgers packages. I'm amazed to see that compiz and openarena actually works.

However, in games like openarena I was not able to move the mouse when running r600g or r600c. Any idea what I can do about it? Or is this in no way driver related?

There is a problem in xserver master and 1.9rcX see -

R600g finally works well on my RV670. Kwin's 4.5.2 desktop effects now work (but blur does not work with both R600c and R600g) and I have similar performances in openarena (93 fps for R600c and 90 fps for R600g, Very High Quality at 2560x1600)

How exactly does one go about loading and installing (just) the r600c and r600g drivers from xorg-edgers in Maverick?

I am hesitant to add the entire ppa to my repository list in case it over-writes everything in the Xorg stack and hoses my graphics install.

1 - add xorg-edgers ppa
2 - delete /usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so
3 - go to /usr/lib/dri/galium, create link to r600_dri.so and copy it to /usr/lib/dri/
4 - restart

4 - restart

I added the xorg-edgers ppa per #1. I presumed that apt-get update && apt-get upgrade was required, so I did that. It replaced just about every part of Xorg.

rather than do #2, I renamed the file to r600c_dri.so

There is no directory /usr/lib/dri/galium so I did not complete any part of step #3 or #4.

I re-named the file r600c_dri.so back to r600_dri.so

Kwin compositing still does not work in maverick.

I forgot, you have to install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental
