I'm administrating a system, and just upgraded the kernel to 2.6.5. My problem is now the Logitech M-UR69 optical USB mouse is just blazingly fast. I can use the command:
Code:
xset m 3/4 1

This works once KDE is running, and I've opened a terminal to run it. I'm using KDM, and am wondering if there is some way to make this command run for all users without their intervention. Or.... fix the root cause.

Doesn't the mouse speed get calculated by the resolution that you put in the kernel config where the mouse and keyboard support is? It seems to always be at 1024x768. But I guess it would only make the mouse faster if you put in a resolution bigger than the res you run X. Im not sure, but its a guess.

But if you want to run cmd's when booting, put it in
Code:
/etc/conf.d/local.start
But im not sure if it will work since you said it needed to be done once in KDE. Hope this helps.

How many 'InputDevice" sedctions do you have in your XF86Config? Remember, in 2.6 /dev/psaux and /dev/input/mice (tha't s where /dev/usbmouse usually points at) are synonyms so if you have both of them XFree will process every mouse event twice. If it is the case just drop /dev/psaux reference.

I have only one InputDevice section for the mouse here:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Protocol"      "IMPS/2"
    Option      "Device"        "/dev/psaux"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection


I've implemented a temporary workaround by putting a script in everyone's KDE Autostart folder to run: xset m 3/4 1.


Let me know if you still want me to post the entire config file.
Thanks!
