Looking to correct that problem ~]$ which xinput But xinput -list gives me no output with a Fedora Live CD. * xinput -set-props yourDeviceIDhere "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 4.0 * xinput -list (find the device ID for your mouse, use that in next step) * Install xinput ("yum whatprovides xinput") The guy mentioned above used this with Fedora (same thing I do in Debian land): Several DEB package distro varieties have xinput pre-installed on Live disks. I also found the GUI speed sliders in Xfce desktops have no effect at all, one single speed, but xinput can be used. Without exception my mouse is too fast and not adjustable enough except via xinput terminal commands in all new distros (BlueTrack laser, very common, non-pricey). I never tried old Fedora but on an older PC did run Live the RPM package based 2008 openSUSE, and it was perfect with my mouse through the GUI but 2010 versions of SUSE had the too speedy problem, poor GUI adjust range, no xinput in LiveCD. I am not sure what you meant by " Have you done: which xinput"Ī more detailed explanation of my problem for those interested:Įarlier, I found a guy on this forum who said he used older Fedora builds with no problems and only recently had the "too fast mouse" problem while using a FC12 Gnome live CD offline (no wireless access). I appreciate the suggestion to look on the forum for that. So, I will need to work out the wireless access problem. I'm not up to the cutting tar balls & compiling level just yet. Thanks for being patient with us converts. I am beginning to realize my search for all-in-one isolated software bundles to save/use has a Windows mentality and goes against the natural Linux processes of an online distro repository & software install assistance. My first reaction after seeing those lists for xorg-x11-apps and the dependencies is to try the other route. PabloTwo, I appreciate your thought out reply.

There are probably at least 2 or 3 posts a week on this forum concerning the broadcom b43 wireless chipset. Rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1You can safely ignore the rpmlib entries. Probably too hard to do that, thought getting a package would be more possible. Maybe an alternate solution is how to get live online wireless with Fedora, without rebooting too. Is there a way to get the "xinput" package with all it's dependencies downloaded using another disto? I can get online with my hard drive installs mentioned or live with PCLinuxOS & Knoppix. However I can't use yum with an offline live disk. I'd like to do one update to the offline running live CD to use as a mouse speed fix. If I install Fedora someday there is likely a wireless driver workaround or the driver may go open source soon, but in the mean time I'd like to try F13. My Dell laptop has the broadcom b43 driver which is not Linux friendly. The mouse is slightly too fast even after putting the GUI on the slowest settings. Am trying the F13 Design Spin and the distro runs beautifully graphically on my system and has all the pre-installed software I like. Am playing with distros and have Ubuntu and W7 dual booting from the hard drive. Hello, I'm a new linux user for a few months now.
