Re: Touchpad speed

Dear all

moving the cursor with the touchpad of my PowerBook G4 is very slow in
Debian Etch. I played around with the settings in xorg.conf, and that
helped a bit, but it's still rather slow. I mainly played with
'AccelFactor' (I used values 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10) and
'HorizScrollDelta' and 'VertScrollDelta' (I used values 0, 1, 10 and
100). My current settings are:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "100"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.01"
EndSection

Any ideas or hints on how to speed up my cursor from the touchpad?

Do you have an Alps touchpad? Take a look at the output of

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

The Alps touchpad needs a different configuration, see
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/README.alps
