Dear Tom, thanks for this, I will try it soon. Do you understand how all these different 'levels' of controlling the mouse work? I had already tried similar tricks using the 'synclient' commandline command, but that did not resolve the problem. Now you say that there's 'gpointing-device-settings' (which is gnome related, I guess) and 'xinput', which is at the 'x11' level. This used to be soo much more transparent in the old linux days ;o)
