[opensuse] smooth mouse wheel KDE Suse
hi folks, I am using a Logitech Tracman Wheel, ... and would like the wheel to function 'smoother' in apps like Konsole, and Firefox, etc... they way it does in Kontact. In Kontact the scrolling (from the wheel) seems slightly delayed... and is consequently 'smoother' in appearance. Unlike Firefox, or Konsole, which the scrolling jerks rapidly between each click of the wheel. How is this controlled? App specific, KDE thing, setting--?? -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

My guess would be it is controlled by the parms in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
My guess would be it is controlled by the parms in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The wheel is a mechanism for quickly repeating a key click on mouse buttons 4 and 5. --- roll the wheel up, clicks mouse button 4, --- roll the wheel down clicks mouse button 5... and, with each click the screen scrolls a small amount-- up or down. Some wheel mice (trackballs) actually have these extra buttons as well... In Kontact the incremental scroll movements are (slower, gentler) than other apps... Konsole and Firefox for instance--- the incremental moves are (fast, instantaneous, jerking) motions that make it difficult to read the screen while it is being scrolled. What I am hoping is that there is a way to control the (speed, gentleness) of

KDE control center -> Peripherals -> Mouse -> Advanced -> Mouse wheel scrolls by.... This smells global for all KDE apps, so it doesn't help with the different behaviour in Konqueror and KMail, but maybe it's a start. -- Sonja Krause-Harder (skh@suse.de) Research & Development SUSE Linux Products GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

... what is needed is a control (which I can't find) that controls the 'speed' of each line scrolled. So, I can set the scroll-by to 2 lines instead of 3 lines (for each wheel click) and that helps... but each 2-line-scroll-by is too fast. Thanks for the control center tip though, now the scroll-by looks really good in Mail-Kontact.... still jerks in Konsole and Firefox though. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

How are you able to scroll via the mouse wheel in konsole? Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In KDE it's default as long as I've been using it. You just get the konsole window focus and scroll - your's doesn't scroll? The same in GNOME and XFCE, etc.... Cheers, Curtis. P.S. If you're not able to scroll in the konsole or Xconsole perhaps you need to adjust your xorg.conf file (though it doesn't work of you're in init 3). - -- Spammers Beware: Trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again!

Duh, I was associating konsole with "konsole/vi". I used to use imwheel to scroll in the vi editor. I read the post and assumed this was built into kde now. My mistake. I just woke up. Sorry.

... but it looks like the smooth scrolling I've been looking for is app specific... well, at least for Firefox. I just received a tip that (at least in Firefox 2.0) that advanced preferences tab includes both 'smooth scrolling' (incremental scrolls are slower) and autoscrolling... which is cool... if I click the mouse wheel down and autoscrolling is active in Firefox then the speed of the autoscrolls is controlled by the position of the mouse pointer relative to the wheel-scroll-icon. So, my problem is fixed in Firefox... now for Konsole... -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
