xset + mouse + gnome? (poor wrapper)

xset + mouse + gnome? (poor wrapper)

Post by Luben Tuiko » Tue, 13 Mar 2001 18:57:19



%xset m 7/2 3
so far so good, but gnome has its own
ideas about mouse acceleration...

It is set in ~/.gnome/Desktop as
acceleration=x
and as far as xset is concerned this means
floor(x/2.0). Had it not been for the
floor(), acceleration=7 would've worked fine...

Does anyone know how I can set up the acceleration
to be 7/2 (as reported by xset) rather than 3 or 4
which the closest I get with gnome...?
(i.e. acceleration=6 and 7 is the same... 3 in xset)

(other than running xset explicitly)

TIA.

The threshold and acceleration settings are in the Gnome control
panel.

1. xhost and xset in Gnome startup

Hi,

I recently installed RH 7.1 with GNOME-sawfish as my default
windowing manager. When I was running Solaris 8 with fvwm, the
.xinitrc file was read whenever I start the windowing system.
In my .xinitrc file, I have these lines that were important
to me:

xhost +
xset +fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/chinese
xset r rate 250 80

Apparently, the Gnome-sawfish startup does run the .xinitrc,
hence these setting commands were not executed. I have to
manually enter them into a xterm window instead. Now, where
should I put them, so that they will be executed during the
startup automatically? I tried to set the keyboard repeating
rate via the control-panel of the Gnome, but the changes I
made there didn't seem to cause any real changes, why?

Thanks for any helps.

Alex
