The parameters for the mouse are `acceleration' and `threshold'. The acceleration can be specified as an integer, or as a simple fraction. The mouse, or whatever pointer the machine is connected to, will go `acceleration' times as fast when it travels more than `threshold' pixels in a short time. This way, the mouse can be used for precise align� ment when it is moved slowly, yet it can be set to travel across the screen in a flick of the wrist when desired. One or both parameters for the m option can be omitted, but if only one is given, it will be interpreted as the acceleration. If no parameters or the flag 'default' is used, the sys�tem defaults will be set. Try different values starting at Pointer Acceleration 2x and a Pointer Threshold of 4pixels. 2. If you use KDE you can set the mouse in kcontrol->Peripherals->Mouse->Advanced. Chech the Pointer Acceleration and Pointer Threshold. Larry -- Sword'sEdge Mandrake-Linux 8.2
