i've fiddled with the acceleration option in the control panel but to no avail

i'm using a logitech mouseman wheel (optical, 4button) on suse7.2 ..don't know how to find out what version of kde i'm running

kde control center==> information ==> X server Are you sure this isn't a problem with the cpu being limited or being sucked up by some other process? CTL-esc will give you a display of what resources are being used.

Thunderbird 1GHz with 256 meg ram here. I had a problem with a jerky/unresponsive mouse, until I turned on dma on the hard drives. It happened in kde and gnome but not so much in the 'lighter' managers. With dma on, though, everything is ok regards Anders On Friday 24 August 2001 20:45, Bruce Marshall wrote:

Easiest way: start yast2, go to hardware->system tuning and make sure all your hard drives are listed in the "Activate UDMA for the following devices" text box. Then, when you reboot, idedma will be started for you. Run "rcidedma start" as root to activate it immediately. Anders On Friday 24 August 2001 21:22, daniel wrote:
