I need help with my Razer mouse, SRSLY!

So I want to adjust the mouse speed & the scrollspeed of the mouse. After some googeling I found the razercfg package in AUR that I installed. And It seems as I can't get it to work properly, the razercfg says that it doesen't find any Razer mice. I added the razerd to the daemons in rc.conf as it is a daemon?

Here is my mouse section from xorg.

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option     "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
    Option    "Name"    "Razer BoomslangCE"
       Option      "Protocol"            "ExplorerPS/2"
       Option      "Emulate3Buttons"     "on"
       Option      "Emulate3TimeOut"     "200"
       Option      "EmulateWheel"        "on"
       Option      "EmulateWheelTimeOut" "250"
       Option      "EmulateWheelButton"  "2"
       Option      "YAxisMapping"        "4 5"
       Option      "XAxisMapping"        "6 7"
       Option      "ZAxisMapping"        "4 5"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "6"
    Option "Resolution" "1800"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option "SampleRate" "500"
EndSection

So the question is: What is wrong, and how do I make things work properly?

If you would show us the errors or warnings in your Xorg.log, then we might be able to help you.

I would (blindly) think that those advanced options would need the default 'evdev'-driver instead of the 'mouse'-driver.

Razercfg requires that your razer mouse also have the correct firmware (which has to be updated in Windows, sadly).  If you have a Windows system, or can use a Windows system, I would suggest plugging in your mouse there, updating the firmware, and making quick adjustments since the settings are stored in the mouse anyhow.

As it seems, there's no new firmware for the Razer Boomslang 2007CE sad, and I also read on a page that the scrollspeed was hard-coded into gtk. I found a way to increase the scrollspeed in firefox however.
To adjust the scrollspeed in firefox simply enter: about:config in the adressbar and edit:

mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines boolean false
mousewheel.withnokey.numlines integer 15

where false enables the numlines option and 15 is the number of lines it scrolls for every click. You can put any integer you want, so it does not have to be 15, it's just that I use 15.

And for the mouse-speed, there is a option for that in xorg.
Just add:

Option "Sensitivity" "2"

And 2 is just a random integer, you can set it to any other number that suits you.

That solved like 85% of my problem, the only thing missing is the scrollspeed in all other apps (if it's not hard-coded into gtk that is).
