Setup: Using Mate desktop on hipster... oi updated frequently... most recently yesterday. Hardware: HP xw8600 2x Xeon 5074 3.33 Ghz - 32 GB ram Mouse hardware: USB Razor - Death adder Also ... I work habitually thru a KVM switch and have for years.
Sorry to bring something seemingly almost silly here but the annoyance factor has gotten quite high and my meager attempts to fix... are not seeming to have any effect. Summary: mouse control is really touchy... trying to acquire the corner of an open window like an xterm, ff etc takes seconds to accomplish. The cursor turning to a corner looking icon that allows to resize jitters on and off so bad it can take a lot of effort just to resize. Admittedly, my hands are less than perfect instruments due to a lifetime of heavy construction work with sledge hammers, large impact wrenches and etc. But I do not have this same degree of trouble on other OS's and desktops. Solutions tried: Mate preferences: System > Preferences > Hardware > mouse I see no difference in mouse control when setting `Acceleration' and `Sensitivity' max high or max: low doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Xset Googled up several setting supposed to work with xset but again see no change in actual behavior. `xset m 1/2 0' (Supposed to be a nice slow mouse) `xset m default' (Supposed to be middle of the road) `xset q | grep -A 1 Pointer' (To show current settings) Mine are: xset q | grep -A 1 Pointer Pointer Control: acceleration: 1/2 threshold: 0 xinput: Googling showed some pure X11 xorg techiques using `xinput' But again Mate seemingly does not know about xinput cmds. ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- I use this same mouse on windows, linux, x86 solaris and until updating to hipster about 1 month or so ago I used it on OI (non-hipster with that default desktop). To be sure, I do experience some (much lighter or less aggravating ) problems controlling this mouse. But it seems considerably touchier on Hipster/mate. Query: Do any of you here experience this kind of problem with mice on desktop Mate on OI hipster. If so, have any of you found solutions that make the mouse more stable and easier to capture the corners of application windows? I don't currently have any other mice to experiment with. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
