Hi,

I've installed Skyrim by Play On Linux (cool program by the way, despite my difficulty getting it going).  Everything works as expected, except the keyboard and the mouse.

I can look around successfully with the mouse, but dont have a cursor.

I can navigate menu items with the keyboard, except for right and left.  Enter works on main menu but not in the game.  Cant make it pass race selection because no left and right to select my answers.

I've disabled the gamepad in the ini, turned off numlock, restarted the game from scratch.  No dice.

Any advice?

Thanks! Justin

Dang, I have Skyrim and just havn't had time to test it.
I wonder what Windows Components it uses?
Sometimes missing components can cause strange issues like that...
vcrun, msxml, mono, d3dx9... those sort of components.

Does the game actually load the Skyrim world and allow you to walk around?

What are your specs & Operating System?
Version of Wine and PlayOnLinux?

Looks like it needs: WineHQ
d3dx9_42
vcrun2008
xact

Lots of information there, but not a lot of people with your mouse/keyboard problem.
