So no it won't ever happen with vesa and you will need native driver, anyway native driver (at least for the most common gpu manufacturer) are way faster than vesa.

mouse pointer acceleration without threshold?
Hi folks, Maybe a stupid question, but I haven't seen it answered anywhere: How can I disable the mouse pointer threshold to get a fast mouse with a constant acceleration (e.g. for gaming)? Something like 'xset m 3 0' doesn't work, AFAICS. 'xset m 1 0' does work, but this is way too slow on a big screen. Platform is Linux. xorg is 1.6, xset is 1.0.4. The mouse is a Logitech Trackman FX.

It is to my surprise that the vesa driver does not support multi-head display currently ( I assumed that it does). Is this going to be implemented or using a native driver is the only means? -- Sincerely, Jyo ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
Re: [PATCH 0/4] xkb core->xkb conversion fixes
Hello Peter, sorry for late reply. Great,.. Works! I downported to the version of my distribution (1.5.2) and compiled a single patch out of it: http://linux.pengin.de/#keyboard Would be great to have it committed (if not already done).
