This sounds like it should be implemented in clients. In any case moving to evdev as you probably don't want to be doing that in the mouse driver anyway.

I already tried to debug with valgrind but I didn't see anything related (a whole bunch of other messages show up there, so I also might have missed it). Another thing which makes the debuggin a bit complicated: Most applications seem to scroll already for one event by multiple pixel; about 20 pixel in Chrome. And I have set it to the minimum possible value in the KDE settings (not sure if Chrome takes those or has its own settings). That makes the debugging quite hard because the scrolling is soon pretty much too fast. Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/619403/comments/9

[Bug 619403] Re: [KDE] no option for mouse wheel acceleration
Note that this is not only KDE. The first place where this needs to be implemented is the Xorg server. I have done that already with my patch. Without that or another similar implementation in Xorg, this cannot (should not) be implemented. Also note that there was a discussion with Xorg developers about my patch on the Xorg mailinglist. While it works quite well and is quite easy, this probably will not be the final implementation. It was considered to generalize the already existing acceleration code in Xorg and reuse that code also for mouse wheel acceleration, together with this project: https://github.com/x-quadraht/pscroll It probably will take much longer though until we have all that in Xorg. So if Ubuntu wants mouse wheel acceleration now, my patch would be a viewable solution. For those who never experienced mouse wheel acceleration: You really should try that, it *greatly* improves the general user experience and usability. I think this is quite an important thing if you want to improve Ubuntus usability. -- [KDE] no option for mouse wheel acceleration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/619403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
