I know about xset, but its man page does not contain the word |
| 15 |
"sensitivity". I have, though, reduced the resolution of the mouse |
| 16 |
through the kernel parameter psmouse.resolution=100. |
| 17 |
It seems to have solved the problem. To have the mouse in a good |
| 18 |
speed, I have increased acceleration from 2 to 4 and decreased |
| 19 |
threshold from 4 to 3. This is with a xset mouse 4 3 command that is |
| 20 |
called when Xfce starts. |

1) xorg.conf does have a "Resolution" option, but setting is has no |
| 24 |
effect. I do have to pass the resolution as a kernel parameter. |
| 25 |
2) There should be a way to set acceleration and threshold in xorg.conf. |
