FS#35 - Mouse speed REALLY slow for dell inspiron 510m when x is started..

Mouse speed REALLY slow for dell inspiron 510m when x is started..

To fix it, I needed to add:

Option        "SHMConfig"     "on"

to the section in xorg.conf:

Section “InputDevice”

Identifier  "Synaptics"
Driver      "synaptics"

EndSection

(this allows one to set the synaptic properties in real time in X)

Also, these needed to be set:

      Option      "LeftEdge"         "75"
      Option      "RightEdge"        "790"
      Option      "TopEdge"          "58"
      Option      "BottomEdge"       "600"
      Option      "FingerLow"        "14"
      Option      "FingerHigh"       "15"
      Option      "MaxTapTime"       "180"
      Option      "MaxTapMove"       "220"
      Option      "MaxDoubleTapTime" "140"
      Option      "ClickTime"        "100"
      Option      "FastTaps"         "1"
      Option      "EmulateMidButton" "75"
      Option      "VertScrollDelta"  "10"
      Option      "HorizScrollDelta" "10"
      Option      "MinSpeed"        "0.3"
      Option      "MaxSpeed"        "0.75"
      Option      "AccelFactor"     "0.05"
      Option      "EdgeMotionMinZ"  "30"
      Option      "EdgeMotionMaxZ"  "160"
      Option      "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "0"
      Option      "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "400"
      Option      "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "0"
      Option      "UpDownScrolling" "1"
      Option      "TouchpadOff"    "0"
      Option      "GuestMouseOff"  "0"
      Option      "LockedDrags"    "0"
      Option      "RTCornerButton" "2"
      Option      "RBCornerButton" "3"
      Option      "LTCornerButton" "0"
      Option      "LBCornerButton" "0"
      Option      "TapButton1"     "1"
      Option      "TapButton2"     "2"
      Option      "TapButton3"     "3"
      Option      "CircularScrolling" "0"
      Option      "CircScrollDelta" "0.05"
      Option      "CircScrollTrigger" "1"
      Option      "CircularPad"    "0"
      Option      "PalmDetect"     "0"
      Option      "PalmMinWidth"   "10"
      Option      "PalmMinZ"       "200"
      Option      "CoastingSpeed"  "1"

I think that not having the”SHMConfig” is a bug in eLive, and possible having incorrect synaptics settings could be a bug in the synaptic driver.

But it could be possible to probe for specific laptop type, and set up decent parameters based on that.

sorry for an annoying bug! And close it if it’s too hardware specific..

It should be already fixed in the current version of Elive
