Logitech wireless mouse problem when using Thuderbird
by Gordie from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5P563)
I run a new Logiitech M317 wireless mouse. In any program or application there appears to be no problem *except* the Thunderbird email program.
The scroll wheel is very fast and combined with my Parkinson's Disease it is close to unmanagable for me when using Thunderbird and only when using Thunderbird. For some reason the mouse speed setting acts differently when using Thunderbird. I use the supplied drivers that Slackware64-current comes with. The mouse I just replaced showed the very same behaviour.
EDIT #2 - Just changed to my wife's Logitech M325 wireless mouse and it shows the exact same behaviour.
EDIT #3 - SeaMonkey mail shows the exact same behaviour.
I have over the years changed to using my left hand on the mouse to have some kind of control over my mouse and now this looks to be the last straw.
Probably shouldn't post this in the Slackware forum but Slackware is what I use and is the only Linux I like to use.
I have a script that runs when booting my laptop up.
Code:#!/bin/bash
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
#
xset m 1/2 1/2
#My sig shows details of my laptop.
Not sure what else to say.
Anyone have an idea to help me?
