greets. my beloved kensington trackball appears to have given up the ghost; it was a serial version whose cable i thought had gone screwy, but a new one (which kensington, btw, sent free of charge even though the trackball is about seven years old -- good company, imho) did not fix it and i don't know that i'll be able to do all the tracing to fix the scewey connection in the circuit itself.
so i got a whole new one, same model only now it's usb/ps2 instead of serial. which is no big deal (though i think the old one was made a little better) except that mouse acceleration both in gdm and kde are now all screwy. yeah, i reconfigured for a ps2 instead of serial mouse. thing is, with the serial mouse movement per unit of trackball travel was about three times what it is with the ps2 version. i can speed things up somewhat, through the cli option in gdm and the preferences panel in kde, but both of these want it to begin very slowly and then speed up, while i'd just as soon the speed be consistent -- and faster -- throughout. i suspect that there is a nice configuration file someplace i can crack open and edit, but i'm damned if i can find it for either gdm or kde. anybody know? thanks. -- dep http://www.linuxandmain.com -- outside the box, barely within the envelope, and no animated paperclip anywhere. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
