Configuring USB Cordless Mouse

[Steve Halliday]

I have recently installed a Logitech Cordless USB Mouse on and Hp9000 C3000 running HP-UX 10.2, it works fine but I have had some comments that the tracking is too fast. I was wondering if there are any driver apps available to configure the mouse. Thanks in advance...Steve

Steve,

Are you running CDE? You can adjust the mouse settings from within "Style Manager".

if not see man xset : The m option controls the mouse parameters. The parameters
for the mouse are `acceleration' and `threshold'. The
acceleration can be specified as an integer, or as a simple
fraction. The mouse, or whatever pointer the machine is
connected to, will go `acceleration' times as fast when it
travels more than `threshold' pixels in a short time. This
way, the mouse can be used for precise alignment when it is
moved slowly, yet it can be set to travel across the screen in
a flick of the wrist when desired. One or both parameters for
the m option can be omitted, but if only one is given, it will
be interpreted as the acceleration. If no parameters or the
flag 'default' is used, the system defaults will be set.

Pete,

We are not running CDE on this system. We are running FVWM, a version of twm with small memory footprint. Any other suggestions...Thanks Steve

Thanks Alex,

That was the ticket!!
xset m 1/2 slowed down the tracking so will have to canvas users for a desired setting. Thanks to all who responded.....Steve
