What's the point of trying to use RAW with a low quality mouse like a DELL, 125Mhz USB polling rate, 800 DPI at best ?
Whatever the possible improvement in the processing of mouse input, *IF* the mouse allow the RAW method, it would be negligible given the specs of the mouse, don't you think ? And it doesn't produce 'negative acceleration' whatever the method used.
High DPI mouse have problem with some weird sensitivity settings on classic method ? Use RAW !
Use RAW and want accel ? Fine tune with cl_mouseAccelOffset and cl_mouseAccelStyle !
Have a low DPI mouse and can't use RAW ? Use classic method and don't bother !
I really don't see the problem.
Ok, having a method that sometimes don't works on competition mouse is a but frustrating but sometimes perfection is not possible, maybe it's just the method which is flawed and does not fit to extreme hardware input.
I really think the actual SDL implementation is flawed (not Mitsu's fault BTW). If the input is more coupled in the main module, it should be a different story. I have implemented this in the vanilla non SDL version (with VBO) of Twentyseven and I really do not have any problems and also I can aim more precisely.
