I can downgrade back to an earlier version of Xorg but I was wondering if there was a proper fix for this problem? Is there a document on the new settings that makes it so xset m 20/5 1 no longer yields the same acceleration/movement etc as it used to? ii xorg 1:7.4+4 X.Org X Window System ii xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.4.0-4 X.Org X server -- mouse input driver The docs in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-mouse do not yield and useful information.
