cnq3-x64 - No keyboard input

questionhardware-compat
Hi, trying to get promode working https://playmorepromode.com/

running just
./cnq3-x64
./cnq3-x64
dies to
Sys_Error: Sys_V_Init - glewInit failed: Unknown error
Sys_Error: Sys_V_Init - glewInit failed: Unknown error
, from what I gathered this is Wayland <-> X11 differences or whatever.

I can get the game to run with:
gamescope -f --force-grab-cursor -- ./cnq3-x64
gamescope -f --force-grab-cursor -- ./cnq3-x64
but whatever I try, no keyboard input is passed to the game. Without the
--force-grab-cursor
--force-grab-cursor
the mouse movement is inverted on both axes.

To check gamescope-sanity I tried a simple
gamescope -- bash
gamescope -- bash
and that worked fine - it started a fresh bash and I could type with the kb normally into that bash.

I've tried passing
-g, --grab                     grab the keyboard
-g, --grab                     grab the keyboard
to gamescope and various params to cnq3 ChatGPT came up with that could plausibly help.

Anyone solved this kind of problem with cnq3 specifically or some other software?

ioquake3 works fine, didn't try running it with CPMA yet though, hoping to get cnq3 running.
