Thread: Under the 11.10 Bonnet - mouse speed

running 11.10 mouse speed set lowest speed setting via gui in system settings/mouse , touchpad - far fast. need go 'under bonnet', if possible, slow down. mouse bluetooth attached , have had in identifying it, recognized logitech device id of 10. have tried suggested command xinput set-prop 10 244 5 makes no difference. google searches talk /etc/x11/xorg.config - mine looks this:-


section "device"
identifier "default device"
option "nologo" "true"
endsection


other google threads speak hal latest versions. newbie i'm trying find hal i'm struggling bit 'under bonnet'. possible change/add slow mouse speed down? advice appreciated.

get id of mouse device:

code:

xinput --list --short

should number (mine 8 )

list possible properties of want change

code:

xinput --list-props 8

but should use number.

fiddle settings, saw had "device accel velocity scaling", tried:

code:

xinput set-prop 8 "device accel velocity scaling" 50

where 8 id of device playing , 50 value put to. 1 slow, way mega slow, , 50 pretty ridiculously fast.

there seem lot of options on mine... "device accel constant deceleration", "device accel adaptive deceleration", "device accel velocity scaling" seem apply "spped", , guess if wanted go crazy, change value of "coordinate transformation matrix".

also, can at:

code:

usage: xinput set-ptr-feedback <device name> <threshold> <num> <denom>
