Distorted mouse precision on Mandrake 9.1 with a Geforce 4 Ti4200
 
Greetings
========

My mouse works 'okay', but precision at slow speeds is terrible and usually non-existent. I thought it wouldn't be such a problem, but then I noticed how often we make tiny slow high-precision movements, like locating a button and such... I have to *zang* it, like I really have to *force* it to move (Does my mouse hate me?). It's irritating and maybe it is something one of you solved earlier.

My mouse works 100% fine in Wind*ws, the accelerating settings in the KDE(3.1.0) control center are also tried but not very helpful..
  • Mandrake 9.1
  • KDE 3.1.0
  • Typhoon Optical Mouse
  • Geforce 4 Ti-4200 64MB (just the Mandrake driver off the CD, not off nVidia's site, could that be it?)

It could be, just maybe, a regular easy problem, but it could just as well be a weird, rare complication.. Thanks for reading,

I'm new by the way, hi everyone!

Hey tredegar,

That could just be it!
I'm going to try that.

Thanks man

Edit: Yes! It works, you are a genius!!

Congratulations Mr. Man & welcome to linux.

Sometime soon you WILL want to install NVIDIA's drivers, otherwise you cannot play tuxracer, or Chromium, and the screen is s-l-o-w.
It took me a while to get it right, but then I was a complete novice.
Hint: This site has a SEARCH button, right at the top of the page.

Enjoy yourself.
