Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) OS: Linux The mouse config tool is missing most of the important things I actually need for mouse configuration, I have to resort to using xinput and /sys/devices/ to achieve them. I think the missing features include: 1. Need to be able to activate/deactivate touchpad vs trackpoint. 2. Need to be able to enable emulated (middle-button) scroll. (cf gpointing-device-settings) 3. Need to be able to control the underlying trackpoint sensitivity to turn up the "gain"; this is usually controlled by: /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio*/serio*/sensitivity 4. The ability to configure multiple mice differently. For example, one might use a pointing-stick to enable quick, coarse movements (with mouse acceleration) when operating a text-editor, but use an external optical mouse (with max precision) for CAD. Reproducible: Didn't try Expected Results: Something like this, but without needing to write a shell-script! THE_ID=$(xinput list | grep "Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint" | grep -oE 'id=[0-9]+' | tail -n 1 | cut -f 2 -d '=' ) xinput set-int-prop $THE_ID "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1 xinput set-int-prop $THE_ID "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2 xinput set-prop $THE_ID "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 100
