I have found <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/">http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/</a> on evdev and all the sources and documentations, but I am now looking at any 'official' website of the input/evdev project of X. I have found the sources, the bugzilla posts, but I lack technical informations on this project and on linux events. Thank you. Zephaniah E.

I have both a mouse and a trackpoint keyboard, and they have very different scales for speed. My TrackPoint settings make my mouse way too fast. I'm currently using /dev/input/mice with Linux 2.6. I suspect I probably need to break out the configuration into two pointers. However, I don't see any options to xset that would let me configure them indepenedently. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> You'll definitely need to split them up. I am not sure if acceleration settings are global, or per device, however I believe them to be per device. If that is the case you'll probably have to do some dancing with xsetpointer to change the core pointer, then set it for the second device, then possibly change it back. Ugly, but effective. A brief look at the code does indeed show that it's per pointer. Sometime soon someone needs to write a new tool that can adjust the settings on arbitrary input devices, not just the core devices. As far as I can tell, the functions for doing so are all in X lib, but nobody has really written a program to take advantage of them. Zephaniah E.
