I have been unable to adjust the pointer speed for a Kensington M01047 Trackball Orbit with scroll ring.
In KDE when I adjust the pointer speed in desktop configuration it does NOT change pointer speed of the ball movement. I would like to be able to slow the pointer motion of the ball.
Any suggestions where I could adjust that speed?
Thanks, Tom
'lomoco' exists for Logitech devices. No use to you, but speed and resolution seem to go hand in hand. RTFM for enlightenment about that.
Although my Logitech scrolls nicely I feel a related pain as you can see in my postings yesterday. Not speed but function. What's the point in having a classy "mouse" if you can't take advanatage of all that added value?
I've drilled down using 'xev' to see what codes etc get sent, gone though what udev can do, and looked at what I can do with basic Xorg setup.
I suggest that in your case working with the xorg config might be the most productive.
The KDE settings aren't going to alter anything as deep as udev or xorg.conf, and this is really a driver level question.
All that being said, I've found my mouse interacts with the keyboard. The 4-line scroll buttons at like +/- if I hold the keyboard ctl button down, that is they grow or shrink text. Ditto wheel + ctl. Personally I think that's awful. I'd rather have the ctl, or the shift multiply the scrolling. OK, you need a divider not a multiplier. And no I don't know how to fix that. And no, nothing I've found googling seems simple. But then nothing to do with X11 is simple, is it?
Anton, thanks for your reply! Where did you obtain Iomoco? I've searched on OS and Fedora sites but not found it. Both the buttons (2) and the "scroll ring" work properly but the trackball is VERY sensitive. I've tried changing the values in xorg.conf but that didn't seem to change the speed (resolution). Oh well, maybe with practice I'll learn to control it better. Thanks again, Tom -- Failure seldom stops you.
