I have to say, I'm confused as to how that xset command works at all.
>From what I read from the xset manpage, the two potential arguments are
acceleration and threshold, in that order. Acceleration can be defined
as two integers separated by a slash and threshold is just an integer.
You can see a confirmation of this by looking at the definition of
XChangePointerControl in Xlib, which lxinput uses to actually change the
mouse settings. There are no obvious limits to these integers (I admit I
have not looked at the code to Xlib).
You can see current definitions with `xset q | grep -A 1 Pointer`, where
the default should be (as defined by lxinput) 20/10 (or 2.0) for the
acceleration and 10 for the threshold (which lxinput seems to define as
sensitivity).
One thing to note from the xset manpage is the value of setting the threshold
to zero:
"If the ‘threshold’ parameter is provided and 0, the ‘accelera‐
tion’ parameter will be used in the exponent of a more natural
and continous formula, giving precise control for slow motion
but big reach for fast motion, and a progresive transition for
motions in between. Recommended ‘acceleration’ value in
this case is 3/2 to 2, but not limited to that range."
Perhaps using this in xset might get you what you want.
If it does, then I could see adding that as a feature request.
Either way, X Windows does NOT work like Windows in terms of mouse
settings.
That being said, and given that I'm unclear you know how to properly use
the settings, I'm going to set this to incomplete until we have more
specific information as to how to define this particular scenario and
what exactly we would do where to fix it.
** Changed in: lxinput (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
