Tutorials/Mouse pointer settings for large displays

You want a larger mouse pointer and better mouse acceleration.

For a larger mouse pointer do this:

Press Alt+F2 and enter "kate ../.kde/share/config/kcminputrc". In the "Mouse" section please add the line "cursorSize=32" and Click on "Save".

On your next system start your mouse pointer will be larger...

For better mouse acceleration Go to K, Computer, System Settings, Input Devices, Mouse, Advanced. There you can set a really fast pointer acceleration, for example 20x and a pointer threshold of 2 pixels.

That acceleration should be OK at medium distances but too fast for larger distances. Here is the trick to get a better acceleration:

Go to K, Computer, System Settings, Startup and Shutdown. Click at "Desktop File", "Add Program". There you can paste this line:

xinput --set-prop "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.2

Then click on OK and then on OK again. On your next system start your mouse cursor your mouse acceleration will be better.
