Touchpad sensitivity

Post by paulo »

Anyone else notices that the mouse sensitivity and touchpad sensitivity are quite different in exult?

It's probably the fault of the touchpad driver, but i notice that mouse is much smoother.

It seems that the touchpad is much 'jumpier'.

I thought at first that it was something in the synaptics driver, but now i think that it's something to do with the resolution of exult or use of api's or something.

It seems that the speed i choose in the config utility (gpointing-device-settings, the normal one doesn't have speed) has no discernible lower bound effect to the 'jumps' (i can make it worse, by either increasing speed or lowering sensitivity, but it's awful anyway).

I wonder if that speed setting is supposed to be scaled to resolution and exult is bypassing that somehow...

Mmmm. I had 'Fulscreen Fast Mouse' enabled.

But disabling that is not yet enough to fix it. The touchpad continues to use only 1/6 (approximately) of it's usable are to move over all the screen. Looks like synaptics can't detect the resolution change and still thinks that the screen is at 1366x768.

This was solved by Marzo in the svn.
