Logitech G9x Acceleration/Sensitivity

I searched and did not find a thread on G9x mouses.

I'm unable to do any productive work under Linux and GNOME simply because of my mouse. It feels very unnatural and I can't find the right setting to mimic the feeling that I get under Windows XP.

GNOME seems to have 2 sliders for setting acceleration/sensitivity, however there's no scale to them or any numberings above them so the users does not even know to what numbers the sliders correspond to. I find this fact very sad and how such thing hasn't been implemented yet?

Second thing is, I want to set my horizontal scrolling speed to 8x for all windows that have a scrolling bar, not just Firefox (aka about:config hack). How can I do that under GNOME?

Here are the settings that I use under Windows XP, FYI, they are stock/unchanged after driver installation, 1600dpi, 5 mouse speed, 1 acceleration, 8x scrolling speed.

Would anybody be willing to work on patches for GNOME to implement horizontal scrolling speed and some scale/numberings for 2 of the mouse setting sliders?

Re: Logitech G9x Acceleration/Sensitivity

I have a logitech M505 (I think), and it needed slowed down too.  the xinput command I found a property that helped, but YMMV.

xinput --set-prop 9 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 2
