+Mouse Input On Windows
+ ioq3 uses SDL to abstract away as much as possible from platform specific
+ implementation details. Unfortunately, SDL 1.2 suffers from a number of bugs
+ and limitations with respect to mouse input on the Windows platform. We
+ provide a patch against the SDL subversion 1.2 branch which fixes the
+ following problems:
+
+ * DirectX (and thus DirectInput) driver not functional when using an
+ OpenGL SDL_Surface.
+
+ * DirectX (and thus DirectInput) driver not functional in windowed mode.
+
+ * Mouse buttons 4-7 unusable with the DirectX driver due to DirectInput 5

+
+ * Low quality mouse input data when using the windib driver due to use of
+ WM_MOUSEMOVE events. Use GetCursorPos API call instead.
+
