Unfortunately, when you use Xset, you loose resolution, and moving the mouse some distance causes it to skip pixels in order to move faster, rather than sending events more quickly :( 2x is tolerable though, but doesn't really provide enough acceleration. p.waltenberg (p.waltenberg@irl.cri.nz) wrote: : In article <5glgu9$208@sol86s.cs.cityu.edu.hk>, : ckkchan@cs.cityu.edu.hk (54401-93 Chan Kwong Kit) writes: : > After I switch from my Logitech mouse from com port to PS/2, my mouse : > movement in X slow significantly.

I think it's the mouse port or driver. : Same problem, the PS/2 mouse port seems almost unusable because of : this. It affects the text console as well as 'X'. : While you can up the sensitivity and acceleration if you use gpm : (and read the docs on gpm -R and use /dev/gpmdata as the mouse prot under X) : it's still pretty horrible no matter what. : If there's a real fix for this I'd like to know as well. : Peter -- James E.
