mouse sensitivity adjusment fails

[cnaeus]

For some reason, the utility that should adjust the mouse sensitivity crashes whenever I try to make any changes, so I cannot bump up the mouse speed... is there any workaround about this? Im on lubuntu 11.04...
many thanks

Ok, this appears to be a reported bug. Hovewer, there is a workaround:

Code: Select all

xset m N1 N2

the numer for "N1" determines the acceleraton of the mouse, so "N2" would mean a higher acceleration for the mouse pointer. "N2" determines the amount of pixelt that would trigger the acceleration.
