Problem with xset m

Hi!
When I'm change my mouse speed to lowe then 1 with xset or in gnome, the mouse get all buggy. It goes by different speed al the time, some times it just stops.
I'm using a Razer Deathadder with evdev. But I also tried the normal mouse drivers and it's the same. I have never had any problem with this at any other distro so I have no idea of what to do.

I think you have to change the mouse's acceleration too. Probably it's too high.
Try this on a terminal:

xset m 0/0 0

Gnome might have something to change the acceleration too.

See xorg-server-sid, which includes the mouse int/float patch which fixes xset.

Re: Problem with xset m

Xorg 7.3 introduced a new configuration option called "Sensitivity"

I had exactly the same problem (I used xset m 1 0 in the past, but then the new xorg made it either too fast or unresponsive at low speeds), so now I have this in my xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Configured Mouse"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option           "Sensitivity" "0.5"
    Option         "CorePointer"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option           "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

And

xset m 1 1

In my .xinitrc, which gets the desired behaviour back.
