Hi,
Sorry for this offtopic, but is there a UI standalone application to
configure mouse? I'm using fluxbox and don't want to install gnome or
kde.
Thanks
Pat

You didn't say what parameters you want to configure. For speed,
acceleration and threshold you can use xset. But be warned, it has no
GUI.

The problem with xset is that removing the device and restarting will
remove the commands. It is good to have a settings daemon, but I don't
know of one.
R0b0t1.

You could run xset from a udev ADD rule.

You can take every option settable through xset and set it in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d . That will then make sure the options are set
every time X starts. You can also take the xset command and write it
into ~/.xinitrc if you don't have root.
I have a 05-mouse.conf containing:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Kingsis Peripherals ZOWIE Gaming mouse"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
EndSection
You can look for the xorg.conf variable names you need in xorg.conf(5),
or just google it.

Just a note here, if you put the command in your .xinitrc removing and
re-adding the device will probably reset the settings, but the
xorg.conf.d approach should be permanent (works for me without issues).
