i'm using mandrake 9.1, and the mouse is too slow. on windoes my mouse speed is all the way up. can this be configured in linux?

kde menu/system/configuration/kde configuration/peripherals/mouse mandy v10

kde menu/configuration/kde configuration/peripherals/mouse mandy 9.2

Maybe you need to change the resolution of the mouse.
You need edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
This is what my mouse section looks like:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection

Your's probably lacks the Resolution option, set it.
Also you can edit the mouse speed in the window manager/ Desktop you're using.
You can speed it up in KDE with the KDE control centre. ->peripherals->mouse.
That's how I made mine a nice speed.

All the adjustable parameters you need are in the section where redeye2 has pointed you to.
just click on the advanced tab up the top when you get there. It has pointer acceleration and all that type of stuff.

cheers

thanks much guys, i got it moving

Great !!

Cool! I hate slow mice.

J.K,
with control centre you can's specify the resolution in dpi of the mouse.

Right beejayzed,

I`ll have to remember that, thanx.

hey, i'm using fluxbox. which file is the mouse configuration speed in? does the speed really depend on the resolution? i wanna make mine slower. it's just way too fast...thnx
