From what I can figure the defaults are set to 128 sensitivity and 97 speed for

It also moves very slowly when it does move. Making changes to the acceleration multiplier in KDE's system settings makes no difference. The only way I can make my pointer device usable is to apply the following commands in a script at boot to make my mouse usable. echo -n 240 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity echo -n 140 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/speed the trackpoint are way too low and makes using it virtually impossible to use the trackpoint from a fresh install of 11.2. The odd thing is during the installation of 11.2 the trackpoint speed and sensitivity were better although still not great. I suggest that the default speed and sensitivity be increased to a more usable level. The workaround I'm using would not be obvious to an inexperienced or new user and may deter them from going any further with trying openSUSE. Please let me know if you require and output from logs and from which ones. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install 11.2 final 2.Try move the cursor using the trackpoint 3. Actual Results: The cursor moves very slowly and requires a lot of pressure. Expected Results: Expected the cursor to move with relatively light touch to the trackpoint. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
