From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: I don't know if this applies to package "gnome-core" but I couldn't find the gnome-mouse-preferences listed anywhere. It really applies to gnome in general. Gnome has this what I consider goofy mouse setup with the two sliders "acceleration" and "sensitivity" that make the mouse jump around. There are no numbers on the sliders, so I can't set them to a specific value. Any value seems to make the pointer 'jump' as soon as you move past the "threshold" This makes for very unsmooth movement especially when playing games like unreal tournament or half life. Would you please re-think the setup and create a single, simple sensitivity slider that doesn't involve acceleration? If this isn't feasible, can you explain how to get smooth mouse movement in GNOME like in windows, for instance? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the mouse in gnome 2. Notice how jumpy the mouse is compared to, say, KDE. 3.

This needs to be handled on gnome.org level so docs are updated etc. Closing on Red Hat level.
