Hey, Dark Lord!

I should have mentioned that I am running XFree86 3.3.6, not 4.2.2. Anyway,
I found the fix, and maybe a conclusion to make, just after I received your
post...

I have two configuration files that seem to be very similar. One is
'XF86Config', the other 'XF86Config-4', both located in the /etc/X11
directory. The URL I included in my last post spoke of modifying the latter
configuration file, 'XF86Config-4', so that is what I did. When I didn't see
any results, I huffed, then went back to my computer to scour it for the
elusive answer. I kept thinking about the other config file -- XF86Config.
When I opened it up, I saw how very similar it was to 'XF86config-4', so I
decided to add the Option line with the same resolution as in the other.
Bingo! I was a winner! The cursor move smoothly, albeit a little faster than
before, and no skipping or delayed start of the cursor. It flies just as
quickly and smoothly through KDE menus as it does on the Desktop.

So, is it a correct assumption that 'XF86config-4' is for configuring the
4.x.x version of X-server and 'XF86config' is for the older 3.x.x server? If
so, as long as I am working with this older version, should I only make
changes to the 'XF86config' file and leave the other one alone?

Thanks, DL

T

T, I'm using a Logitech optical mouse here and it works fine. I also chose
the generic p/s2 wheel mouse option.
