Bug Description
When I run sauerbraten in fullscreen mode in Ubuntu 18.10, there are "skips" in the animation of the rotating cubes. Upon further "evaluation", I noticed the system mouse pointer "popping up" briefly at the moment of the glitch(near the crosshair) about once a second. When not in fullscreen, the animation is smooth(no visible skips/glitches) and I don't see the system mouse pointer "popping up" every second. It works fine in fullscreen mode in Ubuntu 18.04.
To recreate/observe the problem:
0. Boot into Ubuntu 18.10
1. Install sauerbraten
2. Start sauerbraten
3. Set sauerbraten to fullscreen mode(sauerbrate
4. Start a game(I like sauerbraten->bot match->start match->
5. Move forward with the 'w' key(steer with the mouse) to some rotating cubes. Here you should notice the glitch in rotation and the _system_ mouse pointer flickering in and out near the crosshair at a rate of about once a second.

I'm not sure if it's related, but graphic games under dosbox, such as Scorched Earth, fail to capture the mouse in Ubuntu 18.10. They work fine(mouse is captured/ functional) in Ubuntu 18.04*.
