Default 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!
