Description Thorsten Staerk 2006-04-09 20:13:49 UTC
If you are on a Dell Latitude D610 (you can find out with dmidecode), the defaults for the touchpad are really slow (but hey - the rest is really good work from you).
If I set "AccelFactor" to 0.1,
"MaxSpeed" to 3 and
"MinSpeed" to 0.2

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it really works nice.

Please attach `hwinfo --mouse' here.

Comment 3 Michael Gross 2006-04-11 11:54:17 UTC
OK now: Are we talking about the installation system or a configuration using SAX2?
Comment 4 Thorsten Staerk 2006-04-11 18:48:54 UTC
?

I am not talking about what is happening during sax2 or yast2, but now, after the system installed my KDE, the system for my daily use. So, the answer is we are not talking about the installation system, but about something that the installation system could do better, the settings in xorg.conf.
Comment 5 Michael Gross 2006-04-12 11:51:50 UTC
I suppose you mean SAX2. Reassigning to Marcus.

Comment 7 Thorsten Staerk 2006-06-10 09:10:09 UTC
This bug is not a duplicate of 141048. 141048 says "give me a possibility to set it right", this bug says "set it right yourself".

I added the following patch:

I doubt this is a general solution for all people but it at least
makes you happy :-)

fixed for stable
