You can give a resolution to CuteMouse to adjust the mouse speed. You give the horizontal and vertical resolutions separately, in the range 1-9. To slow down the mouse on my system, I use: ctmouse */R11* The */R* option sets the resolution. You can let CuteMouse set a default resolution by using */R0* This seemed to fix the problem for Bryan. Use ctmouse */?* to get command line help. Jim ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] any mouse configuration app recommendations?
Bret: You're wanting a utility that will configure the mouse sensitivity, resolution, etc. In OpenGEM, the mouse sensitivity is too high. But, my USBMOUSE driver does have a limited capability to do it from the command-line. I entered "usbmouse". Receiving this error. "There must be a compatible USB Host Driver installed in memory (something like USBUHCI.COM)" I found that in C:\FDOS\BIN. From that directory, I entered "usbuhci". The consequent text said that the USB Host Controller had Legacy Support enabled. So it continued that a USB keyboard/mouse were installed and enabled in the BIOS. Next was a warning that keyboard and mouse drivers were required, or the computer wouldn't function! So I replied `n' to the query as to whether I was sure. This is described in the USB program documentation (USBINTRO.DOC) starting on page 117.

[Freedos-user] any mouse configuration app recommendations?
Eric: I accidentally deleted this from my e-mail before I was able to respond, so am not sure if this will show up in the same thread as your original question. You're wanting a utility that will configure the mouse sensitivity, resolution, etc. You would also like it to be "versatile" (TSR, hot-key, command-line, etc.). Unfortunately, I know of no such utility. But, my USBMOUSE driver does have a limited capability to do it from the command-line. Of course, USBMOUSE is really designed to be a USB Mouse driver and not simply a configuration utility. If you run any of the USBMOUSE options related to mouse configuration (/Resolution, /ScalingFactor, or /SamplingRate) and also use the /Install:No option it will simply change the current mouse configuration without attempting to install itself as the USB mouse driver. This is described in the USB program documentation (USBINTRO.DOC) starting on page 117. I realize this is a little bit cumbersome, but is an option if you don't want to write a new program.

[Freedos-user] any mouse configuration app recommendations?
Hi! As ctmouse supports the usual interfaces for user preferences, but has no app to control them, I would like to hear which free app you can recommend for this. For example EDIT and GEM do not have a menu item to send updated mouse sensitivity settings to the mouse driver, but if I had any app to do that, ctmouse would listen :-) I would NOT want to glue something to mousetst (ships with ctmouse) for that, as mousetst is only for debugging. The best choice would be a tool which you can use in multiple ways: - run from command line similar to COOLMOUSETOOL /sensitivity 25 - run from command line as interactive TUI with sliders which can be controlled by keyboard and/or mouse - tell it to load as TSR, providing a TUI to invoke by hotkey - maybe it could even work in graphics mode or GEM? you never know You get my point. Suggestions please :-) Thanks :-) Eric ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
