Hi!
I just stumbled onto this same issue. At the minimum, the help should be
updated, to clarify this.
The term "acceleration" is used for non-linear mouse movement since decades.
(see below)
If you really must use the word "acceleration" for the mouse/pointer speed
ratio, then this must be clear at least in the help.
About the term "Sensitivity": the help is completely useless. It just
says the same thing ("Sensitivity"), just surrounding it with some
words: this is a setting, you change it with this slider, it applies to
the mouse. Well, even a newbie user can figure this out on his own.
And finally, this means there is no actual acceleration* in ubuntu ?
Would creating a RFE make sense ?
* - as in : same mouse movement (same distance) makes larger pointer
movement, if done faster (that is "the user moves the mouse faster")
PS: I notice significant "negative acceleration" when the "Acceleration"
setting is 0 to 25 % (that is anywhere in the first quarter of its range, from
the "Slow" to the right). ("Sensitivity" is set to maximum ("High").
By "negative acceleration" I mean: the movement over the same physical distance
with the mouse causes lower point movement distance when the mouse is moved
faster. Example:
- move the mouse slowly to the right one inch: the pointer moves 200 pixels to
the right
- move the mouse faster to the right, but the same distance as before, one
inch : the pointer moves only 100 pixels to the right
PPS: And at settings about 50%, there is positive acceleration. I give
up ...
