I saw it on a mailing list over a year ago and use it on mine after a new install or package upgrade and makes my mouse move a lot faster and smoother then initial defaults. I posted this on limbo2 for couple users and they were glad I showed them but asked how I learned about it. So told them I would post here to see what you might say about it. Also, is there a GUI method of configuring/adding that option or another place like /etc/sysconfig/mouse or something that gives the same results? ------------------- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Better to hurt a little now, than to hurt a lot later!"
