When I installed xinput, the first thing I did was look at the man page. But it's nearly useless - all it really does is list how the commands map onto API functions. I don't know the XInput API, so most of it doesn't mean anything to me. > In general, is it reasonable to point to the wiki from a man page? That > one's separate if the answer is no. Yes, if the wiki page has some real explanation. I'd be a definite improvement. All of my boxes have mice and pointsticks. My laptop also has a touchpad. The xinput changes could have had real usability impacts for me - I've been waiting a long time to be able to individually adjust pointer acceleration per device. User comprehensible docs would be awesome. Ross -- Ross Vandegrift [email protected] "If the fight gets hot, the songs get hotter. If the going gets tough, the songs get tougher." --Woody Guthrie
