changing mouse resolution in 8.10

[babucher]

Greetings,

I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my Macbook Pro (4,1) dual-booting with OSX. At this point I'm trying to figure out how to change the resolution of my mouse. It's a Logitech Mx500. It used to be that I could make the change in the xorg.conf file, but now it looks like it's handled through the new HAL system, and I'm somewhat lost.

I have figured out how to determine some information from xinput:

~$ xinput list

...

"B16_b_02 USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse" id=5 [XExtensionPointer]
Num_buttons is 32
Num_axes is 2
Mode is Relative
Motion_buffer is 256
Axis 0 :
Min_value is -1
Max_value is -1
Resolution is 1
Axis 1 :
Min_value is -1
Max_value is -1
Resolution is 1

and, I've figured out how determine some of the more detailed information:
~$ xinput list-props "B16_b_02 USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
Device 'B16_b_02 USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse':
Device Enabled: 1
Middle Button Emulation: 2
Middle Button Timeout: 50
Wheel Emulation Inertia: 10
Wheel Emulation: 0
Wheel Emulation X Axis: 0, 0
Wheel Emulation Y Axis: 4, 5
Wheel Emulation Timeout: 200
Wheel Emulation Button: 4
Drag Lock Buttons: 0


But, at this point, I believe I'm supposed to create a .fdi file that contains the relevant information to adjust the Resolution, and this is where I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you can put the same thing in the xorg.conf that you would have normally. the HAL interface is really for the touchpads.
