well it's not that I "want" it, but the vid up now is uesless for diagnosing your issue
so up to you.
defcon & uplink probably don't max out the procesor load like darwinia, so it could still be a software cursor somewhere in the lib stack... somewhere
do you have this cursor issue in any other game that *does* max out the proc load 100% of the time?
EDIT: try this: run a proc load test like superpi or onre of the x86 burn-in progs... make it so your system is at 100% load constantly... then play around with non-darwinia progs and see if your mouse behaves smooth or jumpy... this will tell you if the issue is before or after the libs darwinia uses (libSDL mainly).
do you have a second mouse you can plug in to test?
is your mouse USB? is your usb subsystem chugging for any reason? esp. under full proc load?
I'm guessing th eprob is not darwinia, but something in your mouse software... somewhere
but more info would help, of course...
maybe your SDL libs have some funky mouse settings on your ubuntu install?? darwinia was compiled agains 1.29 IIRC, but runs ok against 1.28 on my system. If a newer libSDL has different mouse handling, that could be wheree th issue is... dunno
bottom line seems that you need to follow your mouse from the connector all the way up to th eX.org desktop and SDL libs to see if there's anything weeird in the setups anywhere... you might try searching / asking ubuntu gurus about jerky mouse issues under full proc load -- in general, not wrt darwinia in particular...
