    Mouse pixel resolution / accuracy - SOLVED / SORT OF!

    First post so be gentle with me

    I'm having problems getting my optical wireless mouse to work with at an equivalent level of accuracy to XP. Vertical and horizontal movement is ok, but diagonally it's pretty bad - imagine the staggered horizon line on an old DOS flight sim


    I've added the 'Resolution' variable line to the xorg.conf and tried values from 100 to 2000 with no change in result and can't find any other possible solutions anywhere on the net.

    I haven't touched the rest of xorg.conf since I installed Kubuntu.

    Xorg.conf pasted below:

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
    Option "Resolution" "2000"
    EndSection


    Oh, it's a 'MS Wireless Optical Mouse 2000'

    Any help with this would be cool.

    Re: Mouse pixel resolution / accuracy

    Sorry but does anyone have any ideas as to why my mouse is performing so poorly? After using Kubuntu for a while now as my main OS it's really starting to drive me insane:

    Are all mice like this with KDE? I don't have a spare to compare it with. Are there any third party drivers around for Microsoft (eek, i said it) input devices??

    This thing is driving me mad!!!! 8¬X

      You can give this a try.

      Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the mouse protocol to:

      Option "Protocol" "auto"

      Save, close and then restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
      Windows no longer obstructs my view.
      Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

        Thanks for the suggestion, didn't help i'm afraid.

        However, I've got around it using another (albeit similar) mouse and it's working fine straight off.

        The good mouse is a "Microsoft Compact Optical" model no. 1016 - the optics should all be the same (i would have thought), but it's wired. So it leads me to think it could possibly be a polling issue between the receiver and the transmitter in the mouse?

        For the record, the misbehaving mouse is a "Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2000" model no. 1067.

            You could try changing Device to Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
