Changed mouse speed isn't saved

Post by protozoa »

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?

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.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

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.

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?

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.

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

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]
