Running SuSE 13.1, and clearly not an expert on this release. I simply want to configure my mouse, a very simple Logitech PS/2 mouse. I want to configure the speed that the cursor moves versus the physical speed of the mouse. [..] On command line there are xset and xinput to manipulate the "pointer acceleration" and "threshold"
As an example, I use: ==== xinput --set-prop 'LogiM500' "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 2.0 ==== in my ~/.xinitrc. The xorg.conf section is: ==== Section "InputDevice" Driver "evdev" Identifier "LogiM500" Option "Vendor" "Logitech" Option "Name" "Logitech M500 Wheel Mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Laser_Mouse-event-mouse" Option "Buttons" "9" Option "Resolution" "1600" Option "ButtonMapping" "1 9 3 4 5 6 7 8 2" EndSection [..] Section "ServerLayout" [..] InputDevice "LogiM500" "CorePointer" [..] EndSection ==== (I hope this is correct, I used to have "Mouse[0]" in both the xorg.conf _and_ the xinput line, and have not restarted X yet. Anyway: have a look at 'xinput list' for what's available under what name[1] ;) and the settings with $ xinput list-props 'LogiM500' or however you/Xorg names your mouse ;) I get: $ xinput list-props 'Mouse[0]' Device 'Mouse[0]': [..] Device Accel Profile (244): 0 Device Accel Constant Deceleration (245): 2.000000 Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration (246): 1.000000 Device Accel Velocity Scaling (247): 10.000000 [..] BTW: that "ButtonMapping" moves "middle button" from the wheel-button to the front-thumb-button, which one can use much more easily and precise than that below the wheel, esp. without moving the wheel... Run 'Xorg -configure -config /tmp/test_xorg.conf' to get a config from the autodetected stuff, which you can then adjust ;) Besides having _LONG_ properties with spaces in them is just plain braindead, xinput is nice. HTH, -dnh PS: I use that (complete!) XF86Config/xorg.conf basically since 1999. I change Monitors, Mouses, but keep old stuff commented for reference... Heck, at least in backups, I must still have the XF86Configs with those hand-tuned modelines for my CRT...
