I have a Sony PCG-Z1WA laptop withan ALPS touchpad. (Synaptics driver)<\/p>\n
I could adjust the mouse speed all day in the gui config but it didn’t change.
\nSo, here is what I did. I noticed in \/etc\/X11\/xorg.conf was already using the Synaptics driver.
\nConfig:
\n![](\"http:\/\/itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com\/overheard\/files\/2008\/02\/ubuntu.png\")
\nSection “InputDevice”
\nIdentifier “Synaptics Touchpad”
\nDriver “synaptics”
\nOption “SendCoreEvents” “true”
\nOption “Device” “\/dev\/psaux”
\nOption “Protocol” “auto-dev”
\nOption “HorizScrollDelta” “0”<\/p>\n
Added:
\n==================
\nOption “MinSpeed” “0.7”
\nOption “MaxSpeed” “0.95”
\nOption “AccelFactor” “0.055”
\nOption “SHMConfig” “on”
\n==================
\nEndSection<\/p>\n
The SHMConfig is so I could download and use a GUI config for the pointer
\nsudo apt-get intall qsynaptics<\/p>\n
The speed I adjusted by hand in the config seems to be fast enough for me now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
