That article explains why Q1/QW and Q3 work properly under WinXP and Q2 doesn't. Q2 doesn't have any Direct Input support. QW (with -dinput on the command line) and Q3 do. All the Q2 mouse acceleration fixes don't work (reg file fix/arQon's fix/m_xpfix). There's still an (very small) amount of acceleration left.

I'd like to ask if someone could implement Direct Input back in a Q2 client (examples available in the QuakeWorld 2.30 and FuhQuake source code.

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/source/q1source.zip <-- QW source
http://www.fuhquake.net/links.htm <-- FuhQuake source

Preferably as it is done in FuhQuake, with DirectX 7.0 SDK libraries (FuhQuake (with -dinput) responds identically to a certain sensitivity value as Q3 does).

Preferred added cvars and cmd's over id's Q2 3.20 client: in_dinput 0/1 (defaulted to 0, usual Q2 mouse input) and in_restart.

OR:

The simple command line switch -dinput as used in Q1/QW/FuhQuake.

I'll take a look...
