So close, yet so far!

Hello!

One of the games from the latest Humble Indie Bundle 6 (https://www.humblebundle.com/) is Wizorb (http://www.wizorb.com/).

When I saw the game the first thing that crossed my mind was "it would be awesome to get this on my N900". After I purchased the bundle, I noticed that the game uses mono to run, and decided to check how mono was doing.

Long story short, I installed mono-runtime, libopenal1, libmono-system-core4.0-cil and libmono-system-drawing4.0-cil, and I can run "mono Wizorb.exe", from the tar.gz version.

The game starts (you might have to switch from the terminal to the window, it doesn't always do that), and I can get to the menu. Physical keyboard doesn't seem to work, and when I try clicking on the screen eventually the game crashes with

Code:
/media/mmc1/wizorb/wizorb $ mono Wizorb.exe

AL lib: ALc.c:1578: alcCloseDevice(): deleting 77 Buffer(s)
At this point I don't really know how to proceed. It seems to me that maemo 5's libXi might be missing the XISelectEvents symbol (if I do "strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXi.so.6 | grep XISelectEvents" I get a hit on my desktop but not on maemo).

Does anyone that know a bit more about this care to try debugging this further? I think this game would be awesome on N900.

Update: I've been playing around with the OpenTK library source code (which is used for display and mouse input), and you can both disable the use of SelectEvents, or the use of XInput2 entirely, but while in both cases it still works correctly on my desktop, on maemo the mouse moves unpredictably. As for keyboard, the game doesn't seem to be using the OpenTK facilities for the keyboard.

Maybe someone with more X/Maemo/Mono foo might be able to test further.
