#
# WHY DID WRITE SCRIPT ? : GAMES !
# WINETRICKS MWO=FORCE but want to use GAME MENUS with MOUSE
# example SWAT4 , need to use menu in game to start shooting baddies !! but need MWO=FORCE in game ??
#
# PLATFORM : linux
# REQUIRES : python python-xlib xdotool
# AUTHOR : terry.cadd@xxxxxxxxx
# DATE : Thu Apr 7 22:28:38 BST 2011
# VERSION : 1
#
# USAGE :
# start this script then play the game
# numpad moves mouse , 4 left , 6 right , 8 up , 2 down , 5 clicks mouse
# numpad enter exits script
#
# values for key_up , key_left , key_down , key_right were found from
# xev utility . (the keycode value.)
#
# BEHAVIOUR :
# mouse cursor will flicker because there are now two things controlling the mouse
# this script and usual x windows mouse
#
# FEEDBACK : welcome !
#
# AIMS : wonder if this get put into winetricks package ?!?
