Well... the thing I tried to explain is that I (and other people) don't want to /have/ to give a f***... 1) I plug in 2000 dpi mouse 2) I move mouse 1 inch horizontally and/or vertically 3) pointer moves 2000 pixels horizontally and/or vertically NO MATTER HOW FAST I MOVE THE MOUSE that really is all that one cares about when he wants to use Linux for gaming. PRECISION! Not useless Desktop features that interfere and make one seriously freak out during an important match. You could completely remove mouse acceleration from the codebase and increase the quality of Linux as a gaming system. People who believe they need an accelerated pointer to click buttons or move windows are not bright enough to realize the absence of acceleration anyways. I know Windows has mouse acceleration too... but just because they call it a feature it shouldn't be part of a Linux Desktop and enable itself, randomly, over and over again. Right now I run a script that calls xset 30 times a minute with sleeps as a cronjob to make sure it stays disabled. Before, I even sent my mouse back to the manufacturer because I thought it was broken before I realized it was a problem with Linux so I guess I /am/ a little annoyed. Not as much as i (e.g.) was before i uninstalled HAL to get control over my Linux back. But still... I'll check out http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/PointerAcceleration Thanks. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
