gpm config for xlinks2 in fb?(solved)

Unread post by noo_b_nomnoms » Wed Mar 30, 2016 6:01 pm

I am using xlinks2 in a framebuffer session and the mouse works through gpm but the pointer is really big and a little draggy.
I was just wondering if there is a way to configure the pointer and its behavior.

read the manpage, as for responsiveness you could try

Code: Select all

nice -n 20 gpm -t msc #use msc if you use standard 3 button mouse.
rice no more.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gpm

In the field "Responsiveness" enter 15 or 20, else keep all other values as they are.
