[Bug 124440] Re: gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed
They closed the bug upstream as fixed. I think they just made the scrolling a bit faster but they didn't make a way for us to set the scroll speed. So the upstream bug wasn't really the same as the downstream one.

[Bug 124440] Re: gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed
The function that determines the scroll rate is in gtk/gtkrange.c /** * _gtk_range_get_wheel_delta: * @range: a #GtkRange * @direction: A #GdkScrollDirection * * Returns a good step value for the mouse wheel. * * Return value: A good step value for the mouse wheel. * * Since: 2.4 **/ Here, the scroll rate is determined dynamically by a smart (not so much?) algorithm: delta = pow (adj-page_size, 2.0 / 3.0); I don't want to offend the gtk developer that implemented this algorithm there. Obviously it may have temporarily solved the users complaining about too fast/too slow scrolling, but now it is time to make the scroll rate modifiable by the user. Of course, implementing a new scrolling algorithm from scratch (with smooth scrolling) must be a priority too, since Ubuntu will possibly be coming to smartphones/tablets. But that rather than waiting for that, this problem can be fixed by a simple gtk patch which will read the scroll rate from a config file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 Title: gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/124440/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 124440] Re: gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed
Pascal and company, The only wish-list the lack of scroll wheel adjustment belongs on is Microsoft's wish-list - as in they wish it never happens. If you want people, end users, to migrate to Linux, then the LAST thing you want is to make the controls uncomfortable. This would put mouse, mouse wheel and touch pad control adjustment at the TOP of the DROP EVERYTHING and DO YESTERDAY list. Given that a Microsoft memo identified Linux as the single biggest threat it faces, and that OpenOffice does virtually everything that MS Office does, but for free, I wonder how much Microsoft would be willing to offer me in cash, foreign property and cash or even jobs for my family members or a future job for myself if I were in a position to hold back or delay the development of the crucial FUNDAMENTALS that end- users expect in an operating system such as comfort adjustment of keyboards and mice? How much would Microsoft be willing to pay me if I could hold on to my position of steering development efforts away from anything that would make Debian, the most widely distributed version of Linux with it's default Gnome desktop, INSTANTLY more user friendly? Is this a far-fetched idea, not really, just ask yourself 3 questions: 1) how many decades have mice, scroll wheels and touch pads been around?, 2) How many computers don't have both a keyboard and a mouse?, and 3) How is it possible a simple mouse-wheel adjustment has not been implemented in Gnome? If you have any doubts as to the effect of the lack of user- friendliness, you need look no further than Ubuntu and Fedora. The sole reason that these distributions exist and have gained in popularity is the lack of user-friendliness of other distributions because end-users will invariably choose a user-friendly installation. No Fyo, this is NOT a hardware issue as nobody in their right mind expects hardware manufacturers to fabricate hardware for Linux which has less than 3% of the market. While comfort and ease of use by itself will not grow that market share, lack of it certainly will keep it from increasing.

There may very well be multiple problems at play here. Certainly using the correct InputDevice section in the xorg.conf file may eliminate one of more of these problems. But it seems there's a fundamental problem with MS wireless mice _if_ you dual-boot into Windows. fyo has posted an accurate assessment (see 2 posts above) of the situation so I won't bother repeating it.

[Bug 124440] Re: gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed
I had the same problem with the scroll wheel (as well as the back and forward buttons on the sides of my mouse) and am wondering if it's not more of a configuration error in xorg.conf? Many of the mice on the market today use more than 5 buttons in fact, my mouse is a standard Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 and it has 9 buttons (Right, Left, Back, Forward, scroll up, scroll down, press scroll button, move scroll button left, move scroll button right, = 9). I used a different mouse for a test to see if this could really be the case. I had an old GE Optical Mouse WK2803 (wired to usb) and it has 7 buttons. (Right, Left, Back, Forward, scroll up, scroll down, press scroll button in = 7) When I changed my xorg.conf to look like the snip below, everything worked perfectly. Even the number of scroll lines seemed to immediately change to the default of 3 per scroll. begin copy Section InputDevice Identifier Configured Mouse Driver mouse Option CorePointer Option Device/dev/input/mice Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2 Option Buttons 9-- for my GE mouse, I changed this to 7 and everything worked again.

[Bug 124440] Re: gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed
There are multiple issues here that make the Wishlist importance a mistake, IMHO. If you read the link for more information in the bug description, you'll see that the problem isn't just adjusting wheel sensitivity... the very real problem is that many wireless mice (all MS Wireless?) report MULTIPLE EVENTS on each unit scroll if the system is ever booted into Windows. The mouse should only report two events (one press, one release), but instead reports multiple such. That makes it *impossible* to scroll only one unit in any application that does not have a scroll sensitivity *divisor*, which exactly ZERO applications do that I'm aware of. There are two possible solutions to this: - Implement proper sensitivity adjustment accessible in Gnome. or, better, - Figure out what the hell is going on with the mouse/transceiver and send commands to it to fix it. This is essentially a driver issue and should be handled as such (option 2). That doesn't exclude ALSO implementing option 1, but option 1 is properly set to Wishlist, whereas the real issue here is the faulty driver for oddly-behaving wireless mice. It *appears* that booting into Windows causes some sort of hardware level sensitivity to be changed, resulting in multiple events per unit scroll. The workaround is to unplug the transceiver (which appears to reset it to the sane 1 press + 1 release per unit scroll), but one cannot expect dual-booters to unplug their wireless transceiver every single time they boot into Windows. -- gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124440 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
