[Desktop-packages] [Bug 882817] Re: shutdown screen stuck after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10

[Eren Tantekin]

Mine doesn't shut down even when I'm doing it from the GUI. (I'm not
running Gnome though, I'm on Xmonad).

  shutdown screen stuck after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10

Bug description:
  After the update from 11.04 to 11.10: when I shut down the pc sometimes it 
goes back to the login screen and then I have to do shutdown there which works 
well then.
  Sometimes the pc shuts down but ends with the ubuntu splash screen and gets 
stuck there.
  The issue may be driver related: I use the AMD/ATI FGLRX graphics driver.
  I have a second pc where I also did the update to 11.10 and there I have no 
problem at all but I don't use the above driver but the NVIDIA graphics driver. 
  Both pc's have Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 124440] Re: gnome needs a way to manipulate scroll speed

[Eren Tantekin]

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.

Bug description:
  This has been driving me nuts for a while now. The scroll wheel on my
  desktop mouse (it's an MS wireless optical mouse model 1008) scrolls
  rather fast. Instead of moving a few lines, it scrolls half a page or
  more with a very gentle scroll. The bluetooth mouse I use with my
  laptop does not do this so it's probably somewhat hardware specific.
  However, I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the speed or
  sensitivity. I found an answer here from about a year ago
  (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1339) that suggests
  there isn't a way but I'm wondering if anything has changed since
  then. I've also skimmed through synaptic but didn't see anything
  promising (like gsynaptic for touchpads).

  Thanks.
