Description Thorsten Mühlfelder 2008-11-05 20:39:44 CET
The settings for mouse acceleration don't work. The mouse pointer always has the same speed.

Result is that the pointer is to slow on my desktop PC and to fast on my notebook.
Comment 1 Nick Schermer editbugs 2008-11-05 20:48:43 CET
Is xfce4-settings-helper running? If it is, could you post the output of xsetpointer -l, and attach xpointers.xml from ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/.
Comment 2 Nick Schermer editbugs 2008-11-05 20:50:49 CET
And, just to be sure, the other mouse settings are not responding either (left- right-handed etc)?
Comment 3 Thorsten Mühlfelder 2008-11-05 21:20:21 CET
xfce4-settings-helper was not running. After starting it the mouse settings work.
Comment 4 Zenwalk 2008-11-05 21:27:45 CET
Same bug here.

running xfce4-settings-helper does make the setting apply.

xsetpointer -l
0: "Virtual core keyboard"	[XKeyboard]
1: "Virtual core pointer"	[XPointer]
2: "Keyboard1"	[XExtensionKeyboard]
3: "Mouse1"	[XExtensionPointer]


Cannot find any  xpointers.xml in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/
Comment 5 Thorsten Mühlfelder 2008-11-05 21:35:00 CET
bash-3.1$ xsetpointer -l
0: "Virtual core keyboard"	[XKeyboard]
1: "Virtual core pointer"	[XPointer]
2: "Mouse1"	[XExtensionPointer]
3: "Keyboard1"	[XExtensionKeyboard]
4: "HID 046a:0011"	[XExtensionKeyboard]
5: "DVB on-card IR receiver"	[XExtensionKeyboard]
6: "Microsoft Microsoft IntelliMouse? Optical"	[XExtensionPointer]


And I have a pointers.xml only:
bash-3.1$ cat pointers.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Opened bug #4577 as a result of this. Closing this bug since it's not a problem with the mouse settings.

Bug #4572
