I'm not sure how this could be done, since acceleration only kicks in when you move the pointer more than a specified number of pixels per (milli)second - take a look at the whatsthis help for "pointer threshold" Maybe with some kind of process that does the opposite- reduces the speed of the pointer after you move more than the specified number per millisecond? Sounds counterintuitive - you move the (physical) mouse faster, and the pointer moves slower? But let's leave the maintainer to comment. *** Bug 115693 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm this. The optical mouse moves too fast on my screen with acceleration 1.0 and there is no way to decrease it from the Control Center. I found two solutions that work for me: 1. run `xset m 7/10` everytime I logon into KDE (or put it in a startup script somewhere) 2. manually edit ~/.kde/share/config/kcminputrc to contain the line 'Acceleration=0.7' under [Mouse]. There is a related (older) bug entry: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95928 What does it take for these bugs to get confirmed? (I'm new to bugs.kde.org :) Thanks for pointing out the dupe. We generally keep wishlist items "UNCONFIRMED" until someone is actually working on them, which is why this one remained "unconfirmed". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 95928 *** Are there any plans to make the mouse acceleration slower? I have a Razer Copperhead and I've turned down both the acceleration and the threshold to the minimum in kcontrol. Also, I have the speed on the mouse itself turned to the minimum. With all that set to the minimum, my mouse still moves around at a pretty good speed; being able to make it move more slowly using kcontrol would be cool. +1. I had to edit my xorg.conf and add Option "Sensitivity" "0.3" because the slider in KControl can't go below 1.0. Whoops. Meant to add this to the open one. |
