It was (now I am on a basic Logitech mouse) a TeckNet um013 (specs: http://www.tecknet.co.uk/um013-black.html) -- not sure if it falls under the definition of "super-sensitive mice". Anyway, it was difficult to me using it: even for small movements of the mouse I had too rapid and amplified movements of the pointer. Only by using a mousepad (made of a sort of firofiber fabric) I was able to "fix" its acceleration and speed in usable way.

> The problem was that the mouse was way too sensitive, meaning the > pointer would go too far for a small mouse movement. Hi I had a similar issue some months ago with a sensitive high resolution mouse... For me the solution was simply to use an appropriate mousepad (designed for sensitive high resolution laser and optical mices) and then finely adjust by trials both mouse acceleration and sensitivity (LXDE).

Gpm is not installed by default and I haven't been able to find anything (USB) mouse related. Using Xfce4 under Applications -> Settings -> Mouse and trackpad are all the mouse setings. Otherwise on my Beowulf installation there are 462 files to do with "mouse" covering its use in various programs. The few looked at didn't seem to be text config files. Since i do almost all my work in xterms or a gui, that covers my needs. Perhaps if you explained your need exactly, someone may be able to assist. FWIW, my biggest problem with mice is finding one that fits my hand comfortably and I've never found a solution by spending $$$. Weirdly, since the days of mouse port cars. basic 'microsoft' mice have always worked best. YMMV. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng Hello, The problem was that the mouse was way too sensitive, meaning the pointer would go too far for a small mouse movement. xset q showed the mouse settings to be the same as another computer running Beowulf i386 so the problem was the mouse itself. I didn't like that mouse anyway so I bought a $6.88 mouse from Walmart. It works fine with the default settings and I now know how to change them if needed. Thanks for the help.
