Hide Forgot
Description of problem: I have a standard Dell M1330 laptop, and bought a standard Dell bluetooth mouse with it. After ressing the blue button on the mouse, running 'hidd --search' associates the mouse with the laptop and it works fine. However, the bluetooth mouse is too sensitive in that moving the mouse flicks the cursor across the screen too fast. Adjusting 'Mouse preferences' in Gnome to lower acceleration and sensitivity lowers the touchpad speed, but makes no difference to the bluetooth mouse. Running various settings using xset on the command line makes no difference to the bluetooth mouse speed either. As a result, using the bluetooth mouse is not really possible. Bluetooth mouse info... 'hidd --show' 00:07:61:94:2D:51 Logitech (3) Button Mouse [046d:b006] connected I'm unsure which fedora package this bug applies to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This applies to Fedora 8 test 3 and Fedora 7. How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect up bluetooth mouse. 2. Adjust acceleration and sensitivity in gnome 'Mouse Preferences" 3. No effect on bluetooth mouse (but does affect the touchpad as expected). Actual results: No control over bluetooth mouse sensitivity/resolution. Expected results: Cursor should go slower or faster as acceleration/sensitivity bar adjusted.
I think correct component is control-center - but it is possible that there will be necessary some changes in some other packages like bluez or gnome-bluetooth. Changing component to control-center.
If xset doesn't work, then it's an X bug. The control-center should get support for doing this sort of thing (handling different sensitivities, etc.) on different devices once input device hotplugging support is in X.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
