[ 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 ] . rob ps --- no need to "cc" ; i am subscribed to "-questions@" .
