    lxinput will not adjust (partly solved)

    I upgraded lubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 and my mouse pointer lost its acceleration. So I go menu > Settings > Keyboard and Mouse to activate lxinput, which manages settings for keyboard and mouse for LXDE. But I can't adjust anything; if I move any of the sliders, any amount, with either keyboard or mouse, it closes. Running it in terminal, I find it closes with a segmentation fault. Is there a fix or alternate GTK mouse configuring utility I can use?

    bug already noted, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ut/+bug/725194

    I'd still like an alternative if one can be found. gpointing-device-settings does not adjust acceleration, and gsynaptics is a metapackage that points to gpointing-device-settings.

    it's possible to do with xset. the command (which works from the run dialog, alt-f2) would be something like
    Code:
    xset m N1 N2
    where N1 is the amount of acceleration you want (I use either 2 or 5/2 for this value) and N2 is the number of pixels you move before it kicks in (I use 0). This is desktop-independent, by the way.

    Now what I want is to set things up so that this command is run when I log in.

    thereś a file you can edit these settings directly. It only takes effect after a reboot.

    And as Iǘve just discovered if you go into standby and then come out of it your back to square one until you reboot.

    Problem is I cant remember the file to edit and cant find the posting where I read it. Ubuntuquestions I think
