I just emerged the synaptics driver and suddenly my cursor in X is really slow. Can someone help me figure out how I can fix that, thanks

You should have posted this under Kernel and Hardware in the first place.

Do not start a new thread there, I have asked a moderator to move this thread for you.

In future, please read the description of the forum carefully before posting.

In your mouse's Section "InputDevice" of xorg.conf, try adding a line:
Code:

Option  "Resolution"    "800"

You can play around with the value to see what works best for your device. And of course you need to restart X for the change to take effect.

I found the problem... I needed to change the min, max speed and accelleration options. What I don't understand is that it worked using ubuntu liveCD and the xorg.conf file did not have any of these options explicitely set.

well... If someone has a better answer.
