Ciprian, thanks a lot for your information! Together with the trick from Chuck in the forum I've been able to get my mouse doing what **I** wanted to do :-}. Actually I'm using a Logitech trackball, and turning the ball 10 times to reach the other end of the screen is a hassle. But now I can use it like in the W2K environment - smooth as silk.
However, I have to be honest: it took a while to figure out how to set the command. xset m 6 10 was the final solution, after trying xset m accel_mult=6 thr=10 ... still learning by doing ;-} This Blackbox desktop is really something smokin' - the perfect environment for my 'old' 300 MHz laptop. jens g.r. benthien designer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
