How do I change the speed of my mouse in X? Phil -- When all the broken hearted people Living in the world agree There will be an answer Let it be Lennon & McCartney
Make your mouse scream acrossed the screen. This is a quick trick for changing your mouse speed. First open up a terminal window, depending on your Dektop environment, this could vary. The command xset is used to change mouse speed. Its format is: xset m [acc_mult[/acc_div] [thr]] The two important parameters are acceleration and threshold, meaning that it will move X (acceleration) amount of times as fast when it travels X (threshold) amount of pixels. xset m 12 2 ....means we have our acceleration to 12, yet turned the threshold down to 2 pixels. This will definately make your mouse scream acrossed the screen. -----Original Message----- From: Philip Burness [mailto:pburness@btinternet.com] Sent: Friday, May 17, 2002 4:17 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] mouse speed How do I change the speed of my mouse in X?

Mr McKinney suggestion is in all ways the right one, but if you are more of a GUI oriented user or a newbie you might find it helpful (if you are using KDE, Gnome or some such desktop manager) to find your control center/panel (usually on taskbar or in main menu) and look under peripheral or mouse etc for controls to adjust your mouse settings.
