Hello,

Devuan Beowulf AMD64

Is there a configuration file somewhere that allows adjustment of
mouse resolution and acceleration?  Gpm is not installed by default
and I haven't been able to find anything (USB) mouse related.

Using Xfce4 under Applications -> Settings -> Mouse and trackpad
are all the mouse setings.

Otherwise on my Beowulf installation there are 462 files to do with
"mouse" covering its use in various programs. The few looked at didn't
seem to be text config files.

Since i do almost all my work in xterms or a gui, that covers my
needs.

Perhaps if you explained your need exactly, someone may be able to
assist.


FWIW,  my biggest problem with mice is finding one that
fits my hand comfortably and I've never found a solution by spending
$$$. Weirdly, since the days of mouse port cars. basic 'microsoft' mice
have always worked best. YMMV.

Hello,

The problem was that the mouse was way too sensitive, meaning the pointer would go too far for a small mouse movement.

xset q showed the mouse settings to be the same as another computer running Beowulf i386 so the problem was the mouse itself. I didn't like that mouse anyway so I bought a $6.88 mouse from Walmart. It works fine with the default settings and I now know how to change them if needed.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,
Fred
