Ok based on this and the observation that the first tiny rotation seems
to be in the right direction I'm almost positive it's because the
glutWarpPointer function doesn't work. I don't start warping the pointer
until you've moved 10 pixels. But if the pointer doesn't jump to
the center of the window at that point then I'll be calculating the
wrong rotation.
Hmmm, according the the CVS logs I added the warping code just after
version 0.94. Can anyone compare the two versions? Or if the compiler
doesn't scare you, you can build a version of 0.95 that doesn't warp
the pointer by changing adding this one line of code to main.c.
#define NOT_WARPING 1
Put this near the top of the file and recompile. I suspect it'll fix
the problem. If I recall, I added this hook while working on the DOS
version. Initially the glutWarpPointer code in the DOS version of the
GLUT library was broken, but I eventually rewrote it and then disabled
the hook. I'm not likely to try fixing the GLUT library on OSX because
I have no way to test it. However if someone else with access to the
hardware wants to give it a shot that'd be great. Actually there may
not be much to do. Erik pointed out a patched version of GLUT for
OS X here:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/mac/?n=117
According to the readme file, one of the changes was to fix the
glutWarpPointer function to "work as expected". There are a lot of
other fixes. I bet it would also fix many of the keyboard and mouse
button problems.

Actually I'm leaning toward 180 degrees per 200 pixels. That way you
don't have to drag the mouse a mile when running in a large window.
Maybe I'll have a look at the ldview sources. As far I know, everyone
is happy with the mouse sensitivity in that program.
