Sluggish Mouse

[phrosys]

i just installed mandrake 8.2 and my mouse is having problems;

if i move it really slowly it does not move the pointer on the screen, this makes it really sluggish to use as i have to move it around to get it moving.

it works find under windows2000...

any one have a similar problem or know how i can fix it?

im guessing you did not set it up properly under linux

what kind of mouse is it?

2 button?3? wheel?

PS/2, USB, Serial?

Optical

the more info the better. Also, paste the section of your

/etc/X11/XF86Config file with "Input Device" here (use the quote/or code tags please, makes it easier to read)

My mouse is PS/2 and is a two button wheel mouse. Made by Labtec.

Hello,
I had just the same problem, no your mouse is setup correctly (i.e. it works!) its just not moving at the correct speed.
in xterm or just a terminal type 'xset mouse 5 2'
The first number is the treshold and the second is acceleration.
I use 5 2 thats fine for me quite quick really.

Thanks
James

Hi there,

Thanks for the help, there still seems to be something wrong, perhaps I need to install a different driver or maybe there is something wrong with my PS/2 port.
