== Get a larger mouse pointer and better mouse acceleration ==‎

Edit

=== For a larger mouse pointer do this ===‎

Edit

Press <keycap>Alt + F2</keycap> and enter {{Input|1=kate ../.kde/share/config/kcminputrc}} Confirm this with the <keycap>Return</keycap> or <keycap>Enter</keycap> key .‎

Edit

{{Note|If the above command brings up an empty file, then you might try editing <tt>../.kde4/share/config/kcminputrc</tt> instead.<br /><br />If you don't have Kate installed, you may use any other text editor instead; for example you could try KWrite}}‎

Edit

In the '''Mouse''' section please add the line {{Input|1=cursorSize=32}} and click on <menuchoice>Save</menuchoice>.‎

Edit

On your next system start your mouse pointer will be larger.‎

Edit

=== For better mouse acceleration === Go to <menuchoice>System Settings -> Input Devices -> Mouse -> Advanced</menuchoice>. There you can set a really fast pointer acceleration, for example ''20x'' and a pointer threshold of ''2 pixels''.‎

Edit

That acceleration should be OK at medium distances but too fast for larger distances. Here is the trick to get better acceleration:‎

Edit

First press <keycap>Alt + F2</keycap>, enter {{Input|1=konsole}} and press <keycap>Return</keycap>. In the console window you have to get the name of your mouse. You need the command {{Input|1=xinput list}} to find it out.‎

Edit

The name of my mouse is ''Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse''‎

Edit

Go to <menuchoice>System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown</menuchoice>. Click at <menuchoice>Desktop File -> Add Program</menuchoice>. There you can paste this line:‎

Edit

{{Input|1=xinput --set-prop '''''"Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"''''' "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.2}}‎

Edit

You have to replace '''''"Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"''''' with the name of your mouse. Then click on <menuchoice>OK</menuchoice> and then on <menuchoice>OK</menuchoice> again. On your next system start your mouse acceleration will be better.‎
