I assume KDE (and GNOME for that matter) do the exact same thing with respect to mouse settings as the 'xset' command does [1]. xset is standard with X. [1] except for button mappings (like right/left-handed mouse). You'll have to use xmodmap for that. Usage: $ xset q shows you current settings (not just mouse; keyboard, font path, etc.). $ xset show usage. From it: To set mouse acceleration and threshold: m [acc_mult[/acc_div] [thr]] m default My current settings, for instance, would be set with $ xset m 2/1 4 Fiddle with that until you're happy, and put it in your ~/.xsession -- |>|\/|< /--------------------------------------------------------------------------\ |David M.
