I would like to increase my mouse sensitivity. Going to system settings->mouse and adjusting the sensitivity doesn't seem to affect anything. In the previous version I modified it in the advanced system settings by manually inputting the threshold and acceleration but I can no longer find that menu.

Ideally I want to have a constant acceleration with high sensitivity, is this possible in Ubuntu? I have searched for hours and was unable to find any relevant answers. Almost everything I have come across mentions the xorg.conf which no longer exists.

Help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Try Pointing Devices

sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings

It contains a nice GUI for changing touchpad settings like sensitivity, min/max speeds and palm detection.

I was having the same problem until I found this nifty program called configure-trackpoint. Download the file from sourceforge. Open a terminal and type in:

sudo apt-get install sysfsutils

Then go back to the file you downloaded and install it. After installing it, go to your terminal and type in:

sudo configure-trackpoint

a GUI should open up and you can use it to adjust your trackpoint settings.

Hope this helps!
