There /used/ to be a panel somewhere that allows this, and other things (like what do the mouse buttons do). I see config things for keyboards and such but not for the mouse.

Good question. KDE

Then use systemsettings -> (hardware) Input Devices -> mouse

That being said, you "basic mouse" may not have a lot of controls. You might not have, for example, the coutns per inch I have with my advanced mouse. You may have to rely on 'acceleration'

That being said, you can always go under the hood and start fiddling with custom X settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. Do not alter what's there, add a "60-my_mouse.conf But make sure you know what you are doing!

That being said, I've not had to fiddle with mouse settings (beyond what was offered in Configure Desktop / Input Devices ) for a long LONG time, several releases. It has all the settings you should need in there. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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...
