I changed my Logitech track man speed by going in to a terminal and using xinput --set-prop "id " "default accel" 0.000000 to 1.000000.
This worked but it wont stick on reboot.. I tried save on the desktop and save on a reboot but it goes back to 0.000000 on restart.
Any Ideas?

Re: Change mouse speed
Always, always, always tell us the exact Puppy version you are using!!!!!!!!!
Have you tried doing it by using settings offered in menu->Setup->Mouse/keyboard Wizard?
The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected
Re: Change mouse speed
Bionicpup64_8.0
I tried mouse wizard but it has only acceleration control. Set to max.
I will look for a Logitech Linux driver.
JAN 25 found a driver "HIDPoint1-0.bin" no idea on installing it.
Re: Changed mouse speed isn't saved
Well I tried most of the puppies and Bionic is close to what I want- if I use xinput at every start.
All the distros have a sensitive mouse and lightening fast double click speed or a dead slow mouse and .nice double click speed. So far I havent found the settings to change the sensitivity.
While I'm here is there a tool to globally maximize Rox-Filer windows?
Re: Changed mouse speed isn't saved
This looks good: xinput --set-prop 10 300 1.000000
and then: xset m 2 1
fast mouse with slow double click
made a note on my taskbar for restarts.
Re: Changed mouse speed isn't saved
In a RoxFiler window, right click the background, click Options, Filer Windows.
Select Never Automatically Resize.
Set Largest Window Size to 100%
To make the xinput and xset commands automatically run every time Puppy boots:
Click on /root/Startup in a Rox window,
right click the background of the Rox window and click New, Script.
Right click the new script and click File "name-of-the file", Open as Text
(or hold the shift key and left click the new script)
Edit the file and save it, something like this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
xinput --set-prop 10 300 1.000000
xset m 2 1
Re: Changed mouse speed isn't saved
Thank you. Rox-Filer now is on max all the time.
And the mouse speed works on reboot!!

Re: Changed mouse speed isn't saved
To really use Rox file manager to move files around.
You need to have 2 Rox windows open.
Each one at a different location of the file system.
You drag and drop from one window to the other.
Hard to do if the Rox window is maxed out in size.

@ bigpup
When I start ROX it is minimized and stays that way.The way you like it.
If I maximize the first window, then all windows from then on are maximized. The way I like it when searching for files. [which is a lot]
