TheGreenKnight Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I'm using mdk9.1 and when I run a game fullscreen the mouse is rather slow i.e. it could do with some adjustment to speed it up. This happens with Homeworld, Wesnoth and OpenTTD. It probably happens with others but I haven't done an exhaustive test. I have tried using 'xset m 10/1 4' which makes the mouse under KDE go super-sensitive, but when playing OpenTTD fullscreen it doesn't make any difference whatsoever, which leads me to the conclusion that the mouse speed is fixed and unchangeable in fulllscreen mode. Any ideas would be welcome. mdk9.1 uses XFree86 4.3.x i believe, and I am using KDE with NVidia drivers.

iphitus Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Most games have their own mouse sensetivity options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenKnight Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Apparently SDL takes complete control of the mouse fullscreen, so that using 'xset m' would make no difference. I imagine that the developers of each individual game are programming-in a suitable mouse speed. iphitus: most games then would have their own sensitivity settings. Therefore I am quite puzzled as to why most (SDL) games don't allow you to adjust the sensitivity through a cfg file or ingame slider.
