           Summary: Add a mouse speed setting to X
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Mouse
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jesterr at gmail.com


Like many users out there, I like my mouse pointer to be very fluid and precise
but also I want it to be able to move very fast.  Unfortunately, if I want my
pointer to go fast, I need to change the acceleration value, and that causes it
to be jumpy, unprecise.  Although it IS possible to have it precise,
acceleration has to be set very low, and therefore speed gets very low too.

What I am hereby requesting, and I think X needs this very very badly, is simply
a "speed" setting for the mouse in X.  I want to be able to set low or no
acceleration at all, and still be able to set my speed to any value I want. 
That would give it a great, fluid feel, and remove the jumpyness effect.

I'm aware that there's a good change it's already in the TODO list, I just
wanted to point out the issue if it's not :)  Thank you
