This solution works for me: sudo apt-get install imwheel zenity
Create a bash script and insert this: #!/bin/bash # Version 0.1 Tuesday, 07 May 2013 # Comments and complaints http://www.nicknorton.net # GUI for mouse wheel speed using imwheel in Gnome # imwheel needs to be installed for this script to work # sudo apt-get install imwheel # Pretty much hard wired to only use a mouse with # left, right and wheel in the middle. # If you have a mouse with complications or special needs, # use the command xev to find what your wheel does. # ### see if imwheel config exists, if not create it ### if [ ! -f ~/.imwheelrc ] then cat >~/.imwheelrc<<EOF ".*" None, Up, Button4, 1 None, Down, Button5, 1 Control_L, Up, Control_L|Button4 Control_L, Down, Control_L|Button5 Shift_L, Up, Shift_L|Button4 Shift_L, Down, Shift_L|Button5 EOF fi ########################################################## CURRENT_VALUE=$(awk -F 'Button4,' '{print $2}' ~/.imwheelrc) NEW_VALUE=$(zenity --scale --window-icon=info --ok-label=Apply --title="Wheelies" --text "Mouse wheel speed:" --min-value=1 --max- value=100 --value="$CURRENT_VALUE" --step 1) if [ "$NEW_VALUE" == "" ]; then exit 0 fi sed -i "s/\($TARGET_KEY *Button4, *\).*/\1$NEW_VALUE/" ~/.imwheelrc # find the string Button4, and write new value. sed -i "s/\($TARGET_KEY *Button5, *\).*/\1$NEW_VALUE/" ~/.imwheelrc # find the string Button5, and write new value. cat ~/.imwheelrc imwheel -kill # END OF SCRIPT FILE Now run the script and set you desired mouse wheel speed.

The scroll wheel on my desktop mouse (it's an MS wireless optical mouse model 1008) scrolls rather fast. Instead of moving a few lines, it scrolls half a page or more with a very gentle scroll. The bluetooth mouse I use with my laptop does not do this so it's probably somewhat hardware specific. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the speed or sensitivity. I found an answer here from about a year ago (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1339) that suggests there isn't a way but I'm wondering if anything has changed since then. I've also skimmed through synaptic but didn't see anything promising (like gsynaptic for touchpads). Thanks. See https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 for more information.
