I've had problems with mice which are too severe and I can't easily control
them (probably not your problem though). The solution was to install the
xinput rpm, then do an "xinput list" to find out the name of your mouse:-
[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">derij at pip</A> ~]$ xinput list
â¡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
â â³ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ Stylus1 id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ Eraser1 id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ Cursor1 id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ Pad1 id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ USB Optical Mouse id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
⣠Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
â³ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ Power Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ Power Button id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ NOVATEK USB Keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ NOVATEK USB Keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ em28xx IR (em28xx #0) id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
And use the name in a command to set one of the properties, in my case
"Device Accel Constant Deceleration".
xinput set-prop 'USB Optical Mouse' --type=float "Device Accel Constant
Deceleration" 2.4
There are many other properties which can be set:-
[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">derij at pip</A> ~]$ xinput list-props "USB Optical Mouse"
Device 'USB Optical Mouse':
Device Enabled (125): 1
Coordinate Transformation Matrix (127): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000,
0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000
Device Accel Profile (244): 0
Device Accel Constant Deceleration (245): 2.400000
Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration (246): 1.000000
Device Accel Velocity Scaling (247): 10.000000
Device Product ID (268): 6447, 1046
Device Node (254): "/dev/input/event17"
Evdev Axis Inversion (298): 0, 0
Evdev Axes Swap (300): 0
Axis Labels (301): "Rel X" (135), "Rel Y" (136)
Button Labels (302): "Button Left" (128), "Button Middle" (129),
"Button Right" (130), "Button Wheel Up" (131), "Button Wheel Down" (132),
"Button Horiz Wheel Left" (133), "Button Horiz Wheel Right" (134)
Evdev Middle Button Emulation (286): 0
Evdev Middle Button Timeout (287): 50
Evdev Third Button Emulation (288): 0
Evdev Third Button Emulation Timeout (289): 1000
Evdev Third Button Emulation Button (290): 3
Evdev Third Button Emulation Threshold (291): 20
Evdev Wheel Emulation (292): 0
Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes (293): 0, 0, 4, 5
Evdev Wheel Emulation Inertia (294): 10
Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout (295): 200
Evdev Wheel Emulation Button (296): 4
Evdev Drag Lock Buttons (297): 0
See if any make the mouse usage easier. I put my custom settings in a file
which gets run during KDE startup. I also have the script on the desktop since
if the USB mouse becomes detached the settings go back to the defaults.
Cheers
