Quake3 mouse problems

[Lend273]

I finally got Quake3 Arena for Linux working.
But a few seconds after I start the game my mouse goes nuts. It starts the game fine, then after about 30 seconds or so the mouse will only look up or down, not left or right.
Anyone have the same problem and fix it?
I'm running debian with xfree86 4.0.2 and 2.4 kernel with a 32 meg geforce 2 and a logitech wheelmouse. All works fine except in quake, and like I say it works fine for about 30 seconds.

Thanks

whats your mouse driver?
It should be IMPS/2 which is set in your XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file.

Yes, that is my moue driver. As I said, the mouse works fine, except I lose mouselook
after about 30 seconds.
What do you guys have for a mouselook key in your Controls setup section?

Thanks

mouselook should always be on, I think the command is freelook 1.

Theres only one other thing I can think of that is making your mouse behave this way. If you are using your mouse in USB mode then you may not have the mouse device setup correctly. I had the same thing happen booting between 2.2.19 and 2.4.3
