Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
In Maverick the mouse acceleration optione in xorg.conf.d are ignored, resulting in insanely high mouse sensitivity with high dpi/cpi mouse. This is solved by installing a newer version of xserver-xorg-input-evdev, in my case 2.5.0+git20100822.990540fa-0ubuntu0sarvatt from the xorg-edgers ppa. This is also described in http://www.gossamer- threads.com/lists/gentoo/desktop/211357#211357, where updating to 2.4 also fixed the problem on gentoo. /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-kinzu: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Kinzu" MatchIsPointer "on" MatchProduct "Kinzu" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1" Option "ConstantDeceleration" "5" Option "ExpectedRate" "500" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" EndSection Xorg.0.log with the current 10.10 version 2.3.2-6ubuntu3: [ 539.571] (II) config/udev: Adding input device SteelSeries Kinzu (/dev/input/event2) [ 539.571] (**) SteelSeries Kinzu: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 539.571] (**) SteelSeries Kinzu: Applying InputClass "Kinzu" [ 539.571] (**) SteelSeries Kinzu: always reports core events [ 539.571] (**) SteelSeries Kinzu: Device: "/dev/input/event2" [ 539.650] (II) SteelSeries Kinzu: Found 3 mouse buttons [ 539.650] (II) SteelSeries Kinzu: Found scroll wheel(s) [ 539.650] (II) SteelSeries Kinzu: Found relative axes [ 539.650] (II) SteelSeries Kinzu: Found x and y relative axes [ 539.650] (II) SteelSeries Kinzu: Configuring as mouse [ 539.650] (**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" [ 539.650] (II) SteelSeries Kinzu: Forcing middle mouse button emulation off.
