That seems to work. The docs are a bit misleading IMO, though -- this decelerates by a factor much more than 50. Are there any easy-to-use hotplug-aware tools for setting XI2 properties on a per-device basis? Doing this in xorg.conf seems kind of sad. --Andy _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
