Ubuntu + Wine working great, except mouselook?

Hey all,
I installed P99 EQ via wine 1.8 on Ubuntu 15.10 / wily. I'm impressed at how well everything worked! The game looks and sounds great.

Of course I have one tiny issue: when I use mouselook (hold right click) to look around, I'm restricted to a ~270 degree arc instead of the 360+ degree arc I get in Windows 10. Since one of my mains is a swarming bard, this one tiny thing is actually a big issue occasionally. Has anyone found the solution to this issue?

Some extra info for anyone who's interested in how I got here:
1. Get Ubuntu.
2. Install the Wine PPA from this page: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
3. Install wine 1.8.
4. Install P99 EQ as usual (hint: I used linux's "mount" command to load up my EQ Titanium CD backups). I installed to /home/weaseal/EQ.
5. I made a script to load EQ, I store it at /home/weaseal/bin/eq:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



cd ~/EQ



wineconsole Launch\ Titanium.bat

6. Then I copied over my eqclient.ini and my playername.ini files from my old Windows install.
7. Profit! (Almost) everything works!

playing in full screen will fix this issue, at least it did for me. there be a few posts about it here somewhere in the tech forum.

then again I had to revert back because for whatever reason the mouse would occasionally go batshit crazy and spin me round and round like a top.
