OK, the man page for the "m" option of xset has the following:
[m[ouse] [accel_mult[/accel_div] [threshold]]]
m The m option controls the mouse parameters. The
parameters for the mouse are `acceleration' and
`threshold'. The acceleration can be specified as
an integer, or as a simple fraction. The mouse,
or whatever pointer the machine is connected to,
will go `acceleration' times as fast when it trav<AD>
els more than `threshold' pixels in a short time.
This way, the mouse can be used for precise align<AD>
ment when it is moved slowly, yet it can be set to
travel across the screen in a flick of the wrist
when desired. One or both parameters for the m
option can be omitted, but if only one is given,
it will be interpreted as the acceleration. If no
parameters or the flag 'default' is used, the sys<AD>
tem defaults will be set.
The setting appears to be backwards. The acceleration value affects
the speed of slow movement of the mouse movement. I have a trackball
rodent. If I spin the ball real fast, the cursor doesn't move rapidly
across the screen, as indicated by the man page, it actually moves even
slower.
Anyone know what gives?
