It would suggest playing with: hw.synaptics.scale_x hw.synaptics.scale_y The lower the numbers the faster the cursor will move. I set both of them to 4 in my sysctl.conf - the defaults are 16. I am guessing they were set back in the days when the trackpad resolutions were a lot lower. I think it would be wise to leave the defaults as they are on the basis it is better to have a slow mouse initially and give people the control to increase the speed rather than have a cursor zipping all over the screen making it impossible to use. -- Brett Lymn "We are were wolves", "You mean werewolves?", "No we were wolves, now we are something else entirely", "Oh"
