I believe these labels are simply wrong / misleading. Under Windows there are two options called speed and acceleration. Speed dictates the linear relationship between movement of mouse and cursor speed. Acceleration makes the relationship non-linear. So rather than cursor speed = mouse movement * <speed setting>, you have something like cursor speed = mouse movement*<speed setting> + mouse movement^<acceleration>
However, the mouse preferences under Ubuntu correspond to something different. If you look under gconf, theses two settings adjust "motion_threshold" and "motion_acceleration". Motion acceleration is really speed, and Motion threshold is meant to disregard small movements. Therefore, it seems that the two fields in the mouse properties window should be "speed" (replace "acceleration") and sensitivity (keep the same). I'm using 8.04 Alpha 5. -- Mouse sensitivity & acceleration settings reversed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122208 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
