           Summary: Support for mouse wheel acceleration
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: App/xset
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise@freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: johol@lysator.liu.se


The Windows drivers for Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer mice supports a feature
which could be described as "mouse wheel acceleration". The user can configure a
minimum speed for mouse wheel scrolling plus an accleration (much like ordinary
mouse pointer movements is configured today). This allows for minute control of
scrolling when the mouse wheel is moved slowly and very fast scrolling if the
mouse wheel is turned rapidly.

Once you have grown accustomed to this behaviour it is really addicting. :)

I think it would be extremly nice if this feature was implemented somewhere in
the X server (preferably for generic wheel mice and not only for Intellimice).
The reason for placing the enhancement request on xset is simply that the xset
application would be the natural place for configuring this kind of feature. :)
