how to set pointer speed for bluetooth mouse

Hi,

After reading our wiki about the xorg.conf.d/ files, I tried to create a file for my bluetooth mouse to set a different speed value than in my touchpad. The problem is I don't know the options I can put in that file. How can I find this out?

TIA

Re: how to set pointer speed for bluetooth mouse

here is my section for mouse:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "A4mouse"
    MatchIsPointer "on"
    MatchVendor "A4Tech"
    Option "ConstantDeceleration" "3"
EndSection

it  matches mouse by vendor and slows it down linearly.

But I have a problem: this option does not affect mouse in fullscreen games. Everything fine in DE, but in every fullscreen 3d game I tried so far, deceleration is ignored. How the heck is that possible? I thought that options are global.

disabled DGA as said here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Evd … .21_WTF.3F
Now mouse speed is reduced in SDL games too.
