---see below update post for a better aspect
I noticed when gaming my mouse sensitivity is almost useless. The mouse will run at high speeds making it hard to play games. This is noticable in Doom3, Savage and playing cs 1.6 in cedega. I have not yet tested UT2004 but the same pattern is likely to repeat itself. I have tried using xset m 0 0. I'm running seppe's 2.6.9-rc3-nitro2 patchset. This set does include the 500mhz polling and I have installed and turned on 800dpi on my Logitech MX700. This has been my major concern with Linux since I've started using it: mouse operation seems very unsophisticated. I was wondering if anyone noticed the same issue or knew a work around. Please forgive this very unorganized messy post.

The higher dpi will necessitate a much lower mouse sensitivity in games.

alright update:
doom3 extremely crazy highspeeds with no effect by sensitivity bar
ut2004 perfect
last time I played savage: a bit scratchy... didn't really feel up to par...
last time cs with cedega: really randomized but sensitivity took effect, speed was faster than it should've been.
I don't think its the dpi or polling as ut2004 was perfect... I'm a bit clueless of what would cause this... |

You might want to check out | Code: | | Option "Resolution" "10000" |
in | Code: | | Section "InputDevice" |
in your /etc/X11/XF86Config

Check out these additional mouse options in your xorg.conf file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Resolution" "300"
Option "SampleRate" "100"
EndSection
Try playing with resolution and samplerate to see if that makes things work better. |
