[Bug 28052] Re: Can't adjust mouse sensitivity
This just confirm that the X part of it works. The real problem is the range of values that control-center allows to set.

[Bug 28052] Re: Can't adjust mouse sensitivity
Okay I spent some time fiddling with all that, and taking notes so I can report accurately. Here it is: With the "Acceleration" control left alone, in it normal/current position (about half way), then Fabio's program doesn't make any difference whatever the setting, 1 or 2000, it's completely ineffective. Now if I do as Seb suggested, and turn the Acceleration slider all the way to the max, then the "Sensitivity" control now has some effect, but Fabio's program still has no effect though. Here is the result: 1) "Sensitivity" control set to MIN : actual sensitivity : VERY high (unusable), Acceleration: impossible to asssess as a consequence. 2) "Sensitivity" control set to MAX: actual sensitivity : "normal"/usable. Acceleration: sudden, and extremely high. -- Can't adjust mouse sensitivity https://launchpad.net/bugs/28052 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 28052] Re: Can't adjust mouse sensitivity
Right, it works fine on my box too, the range is just maybe too limited. Vincent, you can try by putting the acceleration to the maximum and changing the sensitivity now, you should notice a difference, could you confirm that? ** Changed in: control-center (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal => Wishlist Status: Confirmed => Needs Info -- Can't adjust mouse sensitivity https://launchpad.net/bugs/28052 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 28052] Re: Can't adjust mouse sensitivity
Ok I attached a proof of concept to show that xorg (libx11 and xserver) are doing the right thing. How to use it: edit the main.c file and replace first with 1 build and run that will set the minimum threshold before the mouse is accelerated. move the mouse in one corner of the screen and measure how much mouse movement you need to do to reach the other side of the screen. change the value again to something absurd like 2000, that means start accelerating after 2000 pixels. Repeat the above, and measure again. In my test i need at least 5 times more mouse movement to reach the other side of the screen and the mouse move very slowly. As you can see the value is changed correctly by both control-center and this program. That means that the comunication between all components happen properly, but the values that control-center is setting are too low to notice the difference (at least in my specific case).
