initially sent to the ubuntu-users mailing list when reported by the user using reportbug ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Antti Miranto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Ubuntu Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 17:50:27 +0300 Subject: xserver-xorg: Can't set mouse speed (only acceleration and treshold) Package: xserver-xorg Version: 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 Severity: normal I can't set default mouse speed with xset only acceleration and threshold. The problem aroused when I upgraded my mouse from Logitech MouseMan wheel Optical to Logitech LX7. New mouse is unacceptable fast and I can't rate it down. On old mouse it took 7cm (~3inch) to move cursor across screen with out acceleration but with new mouse the distance is less than 2cm (~2/3inch) which is too fast and with no accuracy. If I use xset to tone the speed down I still lose accuracy and speed, because there is no speed multiplayer in xset. I have tried to use uvdev, PS2, Option Resolution N, psmouse resolution=30,... and all proposed solutions which I could find with google, but there seems to be no solution only people with same problem. http://www.proxc.com/index.cgi/ttf/2006-01-03 http://tinyurl.com/nmjnq Also these solutions for kernel module or X.Org server configuration file are not user accessible so users can't set their own values as they wish. I also posted to Finnish Linux user group sfnet.atk.linux, but no one seems to know the answer. http://tinyurl.com/ejng9 Proposed solution: please add speed multiplayer to xset so than I can rate pointers normal speed down as it was with old mouse. xset [m[ouse] [accel_mult[/accel_div] [threshold] [speed multiplyer]] Ass being the last optional option it would not break any existing applications. Or if you know the answer I would be very pleased to hear it. Also if there is anything that I could for this problem I am happy to help, but I am not C programmer. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers dapper-security APT policy: (930, 'dapper-security'), (900, 'dapper'), (500, 'dapper-backports') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-25-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xserver-xorg depends on: ii discover 1.7.15ubuntu1 hardware identification system ii dmidecod 2.7-3 Dump Desktop Management Interface ii laptop-d 0.12.1-ubuntu2 attempt to detect a laptop ii mdetect 0.5.2.1 mouse device autodetection tool ii x11-comm 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii xresprob 0.4.23 X Resolution Probe ii xserver- 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10 X.Org X server -- core server ii xserver- 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 the X.Org X server -- output drive ii xserver- 1:1.0.1.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- APM display driv ii xserver- 1:0.5.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- ark display driv ii xserver- 1:6.5.7.3-0ubuntu7 X.Org X server -- ATI display driv ii xserver- 1:1.0.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Chips display dr ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Cirrus display d ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Cyrix display dr ii xserver- 1:0.1.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- dummy display dr ii xserver- 1:0.1.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- fbdev display dr ii xserver- 1:1.0.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Glint display dr ii xserver- 1:1.1.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- i128 display dri ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- i740 display dri ii xserver- 1:1.4.1.3-0ubuntu6 X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- IMSTT display dr ii xserver- 1:1.2.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- MGA display driv ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Neomagic display ii xserver- 1:0.1.4.1-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Newport display ii xserver- 1:2.7.6.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- NSC display driv ii xserver- 1:1.0.1.5-0ubuntu4 X.Org X server -- NV display drive ii xserver- 1:4.0.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Rendition displa ii xserver- 1:0.3.5.4-0ubuntu2 X.Org X server -- legacy S3 displa ii xserver- 1:1.8.6.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- S3 ViRGE display ii xserver- 1:2.0.2.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Savage display d ii xserver- 1:1.3.1.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- SiliconMotion di ii xserver- 1:0.8.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- SiS display driv ii xserver- 1:0.7.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- SiS USB display ii xserver- 1:1.1.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- tdfx display dri ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- TGA display driv ii xserver- 1:1.0.1.2-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Trident display ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Tseng display dr ii xserver- 1:1.0.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- VESA display dri ii xserver- 1:4.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- VGA display driv ii xserver- 1:0.1.33.2-0ubuntu4 X.Org X server -- VIA display driv ii xserver- 1:10.11.1.3-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- VMware display d ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- Voodoo display d ii xserver- 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 the X.Org X server -- input driver ii xserver- 1:1.0.0.5-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- ELOGraphics inpu ii xserver- 1:1.1.2-0ubuntu3 X.Org X server -- evdev input driv ii xserver- 1:1.0.1.3-0ubuntu3 X.Org X server -- keyboard input d ii xserver- 1:1.0.3.1+cvs.20060109-0ubuntu1 X.Org X server -- mouse input driv ii xserver- 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu6 X.Org X server -- Wacom input driv xserver-xorg recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Can't set mouse speed (only acceleration and treshold) https://launchpad.net/bugs/51552 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
