Mouse acceleration and DPI

English Games
1

I have a Logitech G5 rev2. The default DPI settings are 400, 800 and 2000. As all of those resolutions are unacceptable to me, I would like to set my DPI to 1400.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Also, it is possible to disable mouse acceleration?

To disable mouse acceleration:
xset m 1 1

Slow the mouse down in xorg.conf, with e.g. Option “Sensitivity” 0.2

Alternatively, could use:
xset m 1/5 1

Assuming your xorg has this mouse patch, anyway.

i think you can specify dpi in your xorg.conf with an option under the mouse section. (not the sensitivity option mentioned above).

just google “xorg.conf dpi”.

You’re thinking of “Resolution”, which has no effect on USB mice AFAIK.

There’s “ConstantDeceleration”, for whenever that actually takes effect.
