Thanks! (And sorry for late reply) I wonder whether this is bad Polish localization ("acceleration" used instead of "speed") or is the term acceleration actually used in English TDE as well? I find this confusing, since mouse acceleration means something different to me (variable cursor speed depending on how fast the mosue is actually moved).

Anno domini 2020 Sat, 18 Jul 11:23:11 +0200 Stefan Krusche scripsit: The X11 underlying system changed some years ago. Before that, KDE3 and all other DE of that time had accurate settings for speed/acceleration. Now X11 always applies some kind of acceleration depending on your input device. Play around with xinput/xset to get a 1:1 mapping for mousespeed to cursorspeed or touchpoint elongation to cursurspeed. When that's done, the TDE settings work as they sould. -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

Indeed, that's what the manual pages for xset and xinput say, though they elide the detials of what the acceleration formula is. xinput lists three parameters (accelNum, accelDenom, and threshold) but xset seems to only allow setting the first and the last one. In the end I couldn;t figure out how to get what I want. And in case someone wonders why I want to have no acceleration and only speed: games. In particular, first-person shooters require making fast and precise movements, but that it is impossible with mouse acceleration. One either gets a precise movement (but then it has to be slow) or a fast movement (but then one loses control of precision).

This has not changed more than a few ticks one way or another since about 2005 and KDE3. Works well on a large screen display (1600x900); I want my mouse to feel like my own hand moving, not too slow or fast. And as you can tell, I use mouse keys a lot. Just for comparison, if anybody can use the reference.

Enclosed is a screenshot of the proper tab for mouse speed -- *not* for mouse keys. Please see attachment. (The reason for this mistake, I believe, is that I use the other tab nearly every time I boot up, because I cannot get my mouse key settings to be permanent unless I click-unclick that little box every time.) My mind just tuned out that detail (mouse keys not mouse speed), because I never touch it otherwise. Bill P.S. I work on a desktop, by the way. I ought to have specified that detail, too, for what it's worth. My settings might not work so well on a laptop with a touchpad. Also, isn't acceleration (or deceleration) supposed to be a rate of increase or decrease of speed? not speed itself? It seemed to me that these terms were being used almost interchangeably. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help(a)lists.pearsoncomputing.net Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting

Changes made by the widget are reflected in xinputs --get-feedbacks, so I think it is safe to assume the widget works as expected.
