mouse wireless microsoft - well too fast

Hi,

I have a dual boot, and uses a microsoft wireless mouse + keyboard. It’s causes a problem to me: on opensuse the mouse well is too fast.
The google says to me that a resetmsmice can correct this problem, but I don’t find this RPM for opensuse, only for fedora :frowning:
and it don’t install

Anybody know what can I do ?

Thanks !

You can adjust the mouse speed in the system settings
kde, gnome?

Hi !

Yes, I tried to down the scroll value to 1, 0 and nothing.
Looking on foruns, I see that is a hardware preset. ( microsoft wireless keyboard 800)
The problem appears only after a windows boot. (I have a dual boot)
When the system is up (opensuse), I pull off the dongle, then I push on again and the mouse returns to normal.
I think that this pakage (resetmsmice) runs on this way (reset the dongle without pull off)

Thanks !

Just plucking, but

Is it windows 8 and if yes, are you sure it’s been shutdown properly? Typically it doesn’t.
It might be unrelated in any case

No, It’s a windows 7 and we use a regular shutdown of system (no turn off by hardware)

Thanks.

Have you tried the dongle in a different port

If you’re happy to do so, just go ahead and install from tarball. (Even though I don’t own this hardware, I had no problem building and installing it.)

FWIW, I also tried to make a basic RPM using checkinstall, but found that although I got no errors reported, it did not create the RPM package as expected

 Done. The new package has been saved to

 /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/resetmsmice-1.1.2-1.x86_64.rpm
 You can install it in your system anytime using: 

      rpm -i resetmsmice-1.1.2-1.x86_64.rpm

I haven’t hard time to investigate that further yet. :confused:

Malcolm Lewis has been kind enough to build a working openSUSE package for you… thanks Malcolm!

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis:/TESTING/openSUSE_13.1/

It needed a bit of polishing to work with systemd, and there is no GUI apperently, but check its status with

systemctl status resetmsmice.service

and it can be started with

systemctl start resetmsmice.service

Use enable to make sure it starts permanently at boot if all is well

systemctl enable resetmsmice.service

Let us know how you get on. :slight_smile:
