Adjusting mouse response and tracking speed

[Guest jkwilborn]

Hi all... I have been running Linux for over a year now and have always had a problem with the mouse being way too sensitive to touch. I've been in the speed configuration and it's set to the 'slowest' value you can set.

 

Having dealt with this ad nauseum, I'm hoping that someone will come up with a good way to do this, that works! I've seen many 'solutions', but none of them work.

 

I've seen using 'xinput --list' used, but it's apparently not loaded and not knowing what I'm actually using seems to be a problem. I would prefer answers that let me read the docs and solve the problem instead of a quick fix as I'm sure next time I upgrade or change something it will be a problem again.

 

Please send your suggestions for a fix and I will attempt to try them all. Please include some way to confirm that what I'm doing is working for the problem....

 

Thanks to all, this is the best forum that I've found for fixing things, but I've noticed that many questions in this forum are unanswered.

 

Don't know if it's required, but the mouse is an HP X4000 which is wireless, with a 30 month battery life.

 

This is the ultimate in frustration....

 

Thanks for all who even read this...

 

Jack
