[Bug 28052] Re: Improve mouse sensitivity and acceleration settings
Okay, this bug should be closed. It's not even relevant anymore. But the new control center is still missing the option to set the acceleration properly. (There is none.) $ xset m 0 0 will fix this. I have found a way to make this auto-start each boot: 1) Open up a terminal and type: #!/bin/bash xset m 0 0 Save the file in your home folder as “mouse.sh” or anything. Just make it end with “.sh”. 2) Let’s make this file executable. chmod +x ~/mouse.sh 3) Let’s make Ubuntu run it automatically at each boot! Open up the application called “Startup Applications”, and add a new one. Name: whatever you want.

[Bug 28052] Re: Improve mouse sensitivity and acceleration settings
The mouse settings on the Gnome Control Center are misnamed and misrepresentative. I suspect a lot of people are adjusting Sensitivity and expecting the pointer to get faster, but sensitivity is actually just the motion threshold before the Acceleration multiplier is applied - and none of this is explained in the UI. Acceleration needs to be renamed Pointer Speed or something. Sensitivity can then be left as is, since it'll make more sense in context. The other thing is that the Sensitivity slider is both backwards AND misrepresentative. It represents a value in pixels from 1 to 10, so huge parts of it's adjustment don't do anything. It needs to be notched so it's apparent it's a very limited integer representation. It also needs to be reversed - the common interpretation of a sensitive mouse is one which is twitchy - but adjusting sensitivity to high set's the motion- threshold to 10, which means the mouse is actually very slow since acceleration takes a lot of movement to apply. Finally, both of these sliders should probably have text input boxes next to them showing the exact numerical values they currently represent and allowing people to enter ones outside the current ranges - this would accomodate edge cases where it's not enough. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28052 Title: Improve mouse sensitivity and acceleration settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/28052/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

with all the tools now available in X, it would be great to have the following properties in gnome-mouse-properties: speed (general linear speed multiplier) acceleration (non-linear speed modifier) threshold (distance before acceleration) And name them correctly, because it is misleading when threshold slider is named sensitivity, to put it mildly. also current visualization in g-m-p is very unhandy.

I also have an issue with this. I dont like any acceleration, this means that the cursor should move no matter how fast I move my mouse. Surprisingly in intrepid, I achieved this by setting the acceleration bar to the right and the sensitivity bar to the left.

[Bug 28052] Re: Improve mouse sensitivity and acceleration settings
It feels like Acceleration in Gnome control center corresponds to the constant multiplier acceleration in xset, and Sensitivity in Gnome corresponds to threshold in xset. If you set acceleration high and sensitivity low, it's impossible to move one pixel at a time. If you set sensitivity high, you can move within a large range one pixel at a time before it starts jumping. If you set acceleration to slow and sensitivity to high, it actually slows down if you move faster. This two-step acceleration is pretty much garbage for a real mouse, but works somewhat for a touchpad. For a real mouse, I have found that xset m 11/8 0 works best, using the hidden set threshold to 0 feature that uses a smoothly-varying acceleration instead of the jerky two-step.
