I have recently installed Debian 9.1 plus Mate 1.16 on a pristine PC with Asus motherboard and Intel quad core processor. My problem is that the mouse is too lively.
SOLUTIONS ATTEMPTED
The Mate desktop has Mouse Pointer acceleration and sensitivity configuration in its System>Preferences>Hardware>Mouse section. Changing these has no discernible effect whatsoever. I have searched for an Xorg configuration file, but the only configuration in the system is in files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. The file that seems relevant has one section relating to the pointer:
Code: Select all
FILE: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
EndSection
Code: Select all
~# Xorg :1 -configure
(EE) Server terminated with error (2). Closing log file.
FILE /root/xorg.conf.new
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
COMPARISON WITH JESSIE
The Jessie mouse works fine, and I can adjust its settings from Mate. The mouse seems to be configured in a different way in Jessie via a vmmouse configuration file (I am not using a Virtual Machine by the way):
Code: Select all
FILE: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-vmmouse.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "vmmouse"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchTag "vmmouse"
Driver "vmmouse"
EndSection
I would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. Is there is a missing driver?
I am happy to supply any further details as needed to resolve this issue.
Many thanks for any light you can shed here.
