CF-29 Ubuntu speeding up touchpad permanetly

I know this discussion is on here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

 

@SHEEPMAN! Is the guy you need. He should be around soon.

 

There is a one-liner somewhere...maybe on TBT. Give me a bit.....need coffee.

Try search for psmouse.conf. Maybe at the end of the Ubuntu 10.10 thread. Look for posts in red or better yet read the whole thread and then try it.

meh....coffee first. I'll be back.

 

On a new install when you have a slow mouse the following is a per session quick fix. NOT permanent.

Use from terminal:

Code:

xset m 8 1

May not work immediately on newer distros. x may be disabled or not installed.

Code:

man xset

Above is manual for xset.

/etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf. * options psmouse resolution=400*

Above is the information. Use it in a text editor like gedit.

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf

then add the line options psmouse resolution=400 SAVE and EXIT. Reboot to test.

Let me know. I haven't used Ubuntu for a long time. Maybe I should do that....download time is atrocious.

This "one-liner" MAY work.

Code:

sudo echo "options psmouse resolution=400" > sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null

Cut and paste...... >/dev/null very important.

Edit: What version of Ubuntu? 18?

 

Thank you very much. Lubuntu 14.04. Trying to set up a CF-29NDLGFBM for a friend that doesn't have a computer. Your command worked. It does seem it moves faster in the horizontal plane than in the vertical plane. Is there another Linux version you think I would work better? I am open to suggestions.

 

Horizontal will accelerate better than vertical, but this was true in Windows as well.

 

Maybe try antix on older machines.

Zorin always works ok. Comes with everything you need preinstalled and can look similar to windows.
Easy learning curve.

 

Which command?

I downloaded xubuntu 18.1 last night. Just installed it and tinkering as we speak. Slow to boot even with ssd.

I deleted libinput and now xset works (after re-boot). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1758023 post 10.

I've been using MXLinux since version 14. O.K for MK4 and 5. Use latest 32 bit version. (MK4 and 5 use PAE)

AntiX is an option for MK1 an 2. It's a little different ....not recommended for new users.

The one liner is not behaving as expected. I'll be back......tinkering.

 

I see now why it worked for you. (14.04) Excellent.
Xubuntu 18.04 is a little more picky.

/dev/null may be a Debian thing. Meanwhile I tinkered it into life after:

Code:

$ sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-input-libinput && sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-evdev

This is not for everybody. Be careful.
Xubuntu 18.04 below is

Code:

lsb-release -a

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic

So touchpad is done time to calibrate.

Cya.
