[Solved] Mouse Sensitivity options missing in GNOME 3.8

kourosh · 2013-06-25 15:51:40

I have a fresh install with GNOME 3.8 and the mouse sensitivity options are missing, although according to the documentation they should exist. There are no optional packages for gnome-control-center that would enable such a thing, and I have xinput installed.

Am I missing a package or configuration option of some kind, or is this a recently removed feature?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was, but it's not a removed feature. There should be an option in the settings app called Mouse & Touchpad. Do you not have that?

Perhaps you are missing something
Try:

pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit gnome

I do, I'd already tried that and it didn't really help, this is what it currently looks like: http://i.imgur.com/WLuOk5m.png

I have the same, plus a section 'mouse' with 'pointer speed'
No idea why you don't have it

Might be synaptics xorg package is missing or misconfigured somehow.

xf86-input-synaptics.

Or the Package "mousetweaks" is not installed.

I also have the section pointer speed: http://i.imgur.com/cfjIBUy.png

No "mousetweak" installed.

Have you got "xf86-input-evdev 2.8.0-1" installed?

Oddly enough shouldn't you have a mouse acceleration option too? I have xf86-input-evdev installed as well as xf86-input-mouse, I don't see why I'd need the synaptics driver as this is a standard desktop mouse.

Well what mouse is it? Has it ever worked before? Does it work with a new clean user?

Logitech EX110 wireless, I can't remember really, I never felt like I'd needed to increase the senstivity until recently. Tried a new user, made no difference, tried a new mouse however, and the Mouse Sensitivity option appears. Apparently it depends on what mouse you are using, I thought those kinds of settings were applicable to any mouse but apparently not. Solved I suppose, I'll probably buy a new keyboard and mouse soon anyway.
