probably more a resolution thing than the cost of a multiplication. kernel gets only deltas at some fixed sample intervals where the mouse can do it for every encoder cycle. (no clue how its really done or with optical mice, touchpads or trackpoints...) but kernels software mouse acceleration wor

[9fans] Mouse acceleration under Plan 9

2012-08-02 Thread Brian Vito
If you'll excuse another question from a non-programmer, does Plan 9 use a mouse pointer acceleration algorithm (if so, where would it be documented?) or is it 1:1? Thanks so much.
