RE: Spinning character and connection issues

I noticed the spinning too when i switch around between workspaces. I thought it is a problem with my windowmanager (dwm) but it seems that other people have that problem too.
It looks like it is a problem with the mouse cursor position when switching Desktops/Workspaces. But i have no idea how to fix that...
Now to the disconnects. Some ISP's drop the connection after a while and then reconnect. If your router isn't fast enough to reconnect to the internet then it might kill your connection to the FFXI servers. But that would also happen when you play and not just when AFK.

I have not been able to reproduce this effect with 1.1.22 or 1.1.23, the only things that i could possible guess that could be doing this are mouse cursor placement (or where the system/application THINKS that the cursor is), mouse button press being reported as held down, or maybe a key press being reported when it is not actually actuated.
I have no idea how to resolve this problem if it is the cause.

Hey,
Sorry for the really late response.
both me and my wife are playing FFXI throu linux all the time now (were months ago that we were in windows)
We also play FFXI with gamepads (PS2 like gamepads) and we are also having the spinning around "problem" most of the times when we logon to FFXI for the first time. We only need to move the stick to "re-calibrate" it.
I don't know how to fix this, but I wanted to notice you that you aren't alone.
