Linux mint mouse sensitivity

Linux Mint 14.1 with Cinnamon — Mouse Sensitivity not Working

64-bit if that matters. My mouse sensitivity slider does nothing, but my acceleration slider works. I’d like acceleration off and sensitivity how I like it, but it refuses to work. I have tested the option on two computers, and both do not change the sensitivity. Any help?

You have to modify linux X Window Server settings. If you want to do it system wide (I’d highly recommend this because this way the settings will be applied to the login screen also), then you need to modify one of the xorg.conf files. For example, the following one: /etc/X11/xonrg.conf . If there is no such file, you can create one by yourself.

You need to do all the things as described here except that if you want to disable acceleration, the text to put into xorg.conf is the following:

My question IS ABOUT this thread, what am I supposed to do start a new one and quote this one? I don’t know how to do that. I’m asking what to do with the above information. I do not understand it.

Maybe you misunderstood? «what to do with this» meant I don’t know what to do with the information posted

Then find how to add to your Startup Applications for whatever desktop environment you have

In Cinnamon, I have to use the Menu in the taskbar, choose Preferences, then click on Startup Applications and it gives me a new window where I can choose ‘Add’
Name: Enter whatever you want
Command: Use browse to find your /home folder and select mouse.sh
Comment: again, enter whatever you want
Click Add and reboot to see if it does what you want

Thank you for responding. Might take me a couple of days to digest this

I’ve run various Linux for several years now, but you would not call me a software expert, LOL.

I’m having the same problem with Mint 17.1 RC Rebecca. In «Control Centre/Mouse» I’ve adjusted both Acceleration and Sensitivity to their minimum values, but the mouse is still too fast for comfort.

There also appears still to be some acceleration even now, which I don’t use. (For many years and in a previous life on Windows I always disabled mouse acceleration altogether, as I personally find it unhelpful.)

I also run a Logitech mouse.

use «lomoco» from the SPM.

edit the options via CLI

Hi thanks for quick reply — brilliant.

I installed Lomoco from the Synaptics Package Manager and all went well. After opening a terminal and executing » man lomoco» then reading the blurb I used » lomoco -s» to see if my Logiotech mouse is supported. (My mouse is a Logitech M310t.)

Lomoco said it found two Logitech products on my computer (correct: a Logitech microphone and the mouse) but that they were not supported. So it’s back to square one. Thanks anyway, this hint may well help the next reader.

I’ve had the same sensitivity and acceleration issue with my Diamondback mouse which I fixed using : http://patrickmylund.com/blog/lowering- . untu-9-10/

hal-device returns nothing so it shouldn’t be the case in mint no?

It works fine BUT when I insert another USB device the xinput config sort of reverts, or if I reinsert the mouse. Any way to make it stay the same always?

I have the same problem, and I don’t have a Logitech mouse. It’s not a mouse issue, it’s a Linux Mint issue.

System settings > Mouse and Touchpad —> is set to zero, but the mouse is uncomfortably fast. I’ve connect a cheap optical mouse to my laptop. Touchpads just don’t do it for me. Got an external keyboard, too.

Which works fine — for a while. Then the mouse speeds up again. I’ve not been able to nail down the circumstances when the mouse speeds up again. The last time it happened was a moment ago after I installed an app via apt-get. And it just speeded up again when I adjusted Panel Settings. It’s something in the mint implementation of xwindows.

How to change mouse speed/sensitivity?

I am on an Asus Zenbook UX32VD in Ubuntu 12.10. Both in 12.04 and 12.10 I haven’t been able to change the mouse speed (i.e. the «sensitivity» in the mouse/touchpad dialog). I can change the slider, but nothing changes.

This is a big problem for me, since the mouse speed is somewhat slow. Any suggestions?

The problem is both for the touchpad and mouse.

First we need to identify the input device ID to change the speed/sensitivity. Open a terminal and run this command:

My pointing devices are a Logitech USB RECEIVER and a Synaptics TouchPad . To list out device properties:

EDIT:

Another option: xinput —list-props 11 as 11 is the number that is shown above in its parent property (SynPS/2 Synaptic TouchPad).

Now reduce it’s property values to suit your need:

using this command:

EDIT:

Another option: xinput —set-prop 11 267 1.5 where 11 is the device, just like from above, 267 is the id of the device property (Device Accel Constant Decleration) as you can see when device 11 is being listed all of properties being attached, and finally 1.5 is your desired speed.

You may have to play around with this number a bit to set it exactly as you need.

If you need to set this value automatically every time Ubuntu starts then:

create a .sh file

change the file to executable :

and Put this in the start-up applications list.

Изменение чувствительности через терминал в LinuxMint

Как можно изменить чувствительность мыши в LinuxMint через терминал? Стандартный способ через GUI мне не подходит.

копай в направлении libinput

Забыл сказать что я полный нуб

там про акселерацию как я понял

я тоже не лучезарный гуру, но

• есть интернет
• в интернете есть всякие wiki, поисковики и т.д.

и всё это как-то помогает решать проблемы

тебе уже кто-то ссылку оставил. посмотри, вдруг это «оно»

а, в профиле Zhbert есть его(?) страничка, у него там есть статейка по libinput

пробовал искать перед тем как создавать тему. буду искать дальше…

Этой информации достаточно, чтобы понять, как настраиваются устройства ввода.

Я бы сделал так. Нашёл идентификатор своей мыши:

В моём случае это 11.

Открыл бы GUI и менял бы там нужный параметр, наблюдая за тем, что изменяется, при помощи следующей команды:

А далее мог бы сам настраивать его, например:

как вариант попробуй детальнее описать

• что не устраивает
• и чего хочешь добиться

// может я тебя неверно понял

я выключил акселерацию мыши и чувствительность стала медленной даже при максимальных параметрах в GUI настройках. Еще такая фишка что при заходе в настройки мыши в GUI акселерация сбрасывается в стартовое значение

Помню, в своё время повозился я с этими акселерациями… Я хотел настроить тачпад, чтобы до заданного порога свайпа курсор двигался медленно-медленно, как в Windows. Но сдаётся мне, что в линуксе вообще нет нормальных настроек скорости курсора — есть какие-то ускорения, пороги, делители, профили. Целая математика на ровном месте, в общем.

Так что вопрос гораздо более глубокий, чем настройка. Там, похоже, нужно драйвер модифицировать.

Lowering Mouse Sensitivity in Ubuntu and Fedora

February 5, 2010

Confirmed to still work as of April 2017

I have a Razer Deathadder. It’s a nice gaming mouse. In Ubuntu its polling rates are through the roof, though, and the mouse is pretty much unusable even with the mouse sensitivity and acceleration settings at their lowest.

Here’s how I regained my sanity and mouse slowness. This fix should work for any mouse (tested with many different mouse brands, including Logitech.)

Please contact me if you know of a better way to do any of the below.

Fix for Ubuntu 17.04+ and Fedora 22+ (libinput)

Run the command: xinput —list —short

Note the name of your device. (In my case, manipulating ‘Razer DeathAdder’ worked.)

Set the constant deceleration and transformation matrix for the device:

The “libinput Accel Speed” number must be an integer between 1 and -1, and appears less flexible than the old Constant Deceleration setting (below.) Playing around with the coordinate transformation matrix numbers may also help. You may want to apply only one or both of these changes. (Thanks to Emanuel Steen for the tip.)

Fix for Ubuntu 10.04-16.10 and Fedora 12-21

Run the command: xinput —list —short

Note the name of your device. (In my case, manipulating ‘Razer DeathAdder’ worked.)

Set the constant deceleration for the device:

That’s it. You might have to play around with the value, but 5 slowed down my mouse sufficiently.

To see the current settings for the device:

To turn off mouse acceleration:

To perform the tuning automatically, I simply created a file fix-mouse.sh containing the script below, ran chmod +x fix-mouse.sh and added it to GNOME’s Startup Applications — gnome-session-properties , or System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, or the gear in the upper-right corner -> Startup Applications in Ubuntu’s Unity.

Fix for distributions using HAL (including Ubuntu 9.10)

1. Open a terminal
2. Run the command: hal-device

In the output, locate the mouse’s hex format vendor and product ID’s as highlighted below:
