After playing with this for a while, it feels to me that: A) The acceleration isn't noticable with low (normal) speeds B) Once you reach a high enough speed, it gets fast too quickly This sounds like a signature of that polynomial curve to me. My instinct tells me that Windows uses a curve that is accelerated at slower speeds, and that doesn't go through the roof at the higher speeds. Would this be a logarithmic acceleration that I desire? _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
