[ big snip ]
i thank you , sir , for your response .
after reading both of the two responses that i received ,
i chose to address , first , the content that was supplied by
{ A | A in [ "mr ." , "mrs ." , miss , e_production ] } polytropon ,
as that content dealt , principally , with configuration .
because my response to { B | B in [ him , her ] } will be extensive
[ it will take most of the day to compose , here at the salt_mine ] ,
i wanted to respond to you , immediately .
fortunately , this content applies to both of the said responses .
after satisfying myself , that my configuration was correct [ mostly ] ,
i returned to your post , as it had piqued my interest .
one or another of my configuration files uses xset(1) ,
to define the keyboard "auto_repeat" parameters .
consequently , i am familiar with the output of "xset q" .
until now , i had had no need to adjust any of the mouse settings .
the defaults were "good enough" .
from "xset q" , i found that both boxen were configured as
Pointer Control:
acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4
after playing around with the settings , for a_while ,
i found that your exact suggestion [ above ] works very well ,
on the 10.2/i386/vt/ps2 box [ "slowpoke rodrigues" ] .
for the time being , i can leave this box be .
given that 10.3 is released , i do not want to do more with this ,
except , of course , when necessary .
however , on the 9.3/amd64/syscons/ps2 box [ "speedy gonzales" ] ,
i have settled upon , for now ,
Pointer Control:
acceleration: 1/4 threshold: 1
which --does-- help , somewhat , for --general-- use .
none_the_less , for precise positioning ,
even this setting is way too "touchy" .
this suggests that , as regards the "resolution" concept ,
i need to conduct further research and experimentation .
the effort will be worth my while .
probably , my 9.3 boxen will be around for some time ,
as they are "amd64" .
again , sir , i thank you , for your assistance .
certainly ,
you hit one_and_a_good_fraction of the two nails on the head ,
given that most of my cli is done in xterm and that
most of my gui is done in firefox [ and , sometimes , thunderbird ] .
