Description

Might be fixed just by switching to WiiMote. Till then, here are some ideas:
  1. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration - might be able to use add gui config that adjusts this by calling xset.
  2. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-to-set-mouse-sensitivity-in-xorg-conf-not-window-manager-425552/
  3. http://askubuntu.com/questions/172972/configure-mouse-speed-not-pointer-acceleration
  4. http://blog.khax.net/2009/02/08/adjusting-mouse-and-touchpad-speed-in-xorgconf/
Also
  1. see the InputDevice section of xorg.conf
  2. man xinput
  3. man xset

This seems to work with an ordinary usb mouse:

xinput --set-prop 6 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 5

Need to try it with the Favi keyboard.

The FAVI works better with this.

xinput --set-prop 6 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 2

I can test in xinitrc for the FAVI by looking for the 1997:2433 usb device and running the above command if found, or the other command if not. Alternatively I can try running the xinput based on device name but then I'd have to run both commands each time.

Updated S10usbdev in core repo to write out lsusb output to /etc/init.d/data/usb. Then updated xinitrc in UI repo to test for FAVI keyboard from that data and runs xinput to adjust the mouse acceleration.

Issue can be closed.
