Hi,

I am still curious about this and tried to track down this issue in the 
last days but could not find a solution. I get the same behavior with an 
external mouse and keyboard (usb).

Since people report the same behavior for windows I thought I could find 
more about that through google but didn't find a real explanation or 
lost of reports from people playing under windows.

My thinkpad performs generally well, so I won't give up the hope to play 
enemy territory on it. First I thought this might be related to ATI 
drivers but it really seems to be the input and I don't have any idea 
how to tweak it besides mouse resolution and sensitivity which doesn't help.

Maybe we can investigate this further.

Boris
