Help me train a mouse
I have a Microsoft Nano wireless mouse.
In Linux, the scroll-wheel response is too fast.
In Win7 its ok.
I can't seem to get xset or the gnome config tool
to slow this down.
Are there any other options to adjust this thing?

I read in some ubuntu forum about this problem with MS wireless mouse. Don't have the link to send it to you, but the workaround was: when you logout of windows and boot in knoppix just unplug the wireless adapter and plug it back in again. Try it and see if it works It's not a real solution, but its better then nothing, until you find a real one

This may be very tricky mouse to configure. You have to be lucky to find someone in this forums who has this kind of mouse AND to have it configured properly. So don't look in this forum. What I can see by googling is that the number of buttons (wheel tilting is a button too) has to be properly configured and the right protocol used in xorg.conf.
Here are some links I was looking at, hope might be of some help to you:

Many thanks once again.
It may be my imagination, but I think the unplugging had the desired effect.
I will study the Logitech article tomorrow.
I don't know if M$ Nano=Logitech Nano.
Also, thanks for getting Marietto straightened out.
I could never see what he (or she) was trying to do.

I am embarassed to note that Main Menu/Preferences/Keyboard & Mouse
provides a nice little gui which purports to affect mouse
sensitivity and acceleration. I can't see that it does for the
M$-Nano species of Rodenta, however.
The unplugging seemed to have got the rodent's attention. It
works now in Knoppix about like it does in Win7.
I can't see that any of the choices: xset, gnome config, or this
latest revelation have any effect toward making any changes on
my Nano.
The hunt-and-peck effort toward 'mapping' the mouse dimensions,
mentioned in one of your references, doesn't appeal to me.
Somewhere in my error-message treks I think I recall some note
to the effect that one of the 'dimensions' of the mouse was
unaccounted-for. The number accounted-for was rather large.
No hint as usual as to what one might do with this precious
revelation.

The GUI included in LXDE does nothing more then configuring xset and storing the velues in /home/knoppix/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf
The important elements in setting your mouse would be in xorg.conf - mainly the "driver" "protocol" type, "SendCoreEvents" and "Buttons" value.
For a mouse like this it might take a lot of trial and error. Changing values in xorg.conf and restarting X.
The protocol name which works best for you might have nothing to do with your mouse. After you have found the best working config, you might want to edit knoppix-autoconfig and put your working mouse config there, so xorg.conf will be automatically recreated with you working config
Why I love Knoppix so much is because it makes you learn everything the hard way

I don't know Utu - seems like you should search for some kind of hal fdi policy, or udev rule to correct the scrolled number of lines at every boot. I can be of no help to you, unless I have the same kind of mouse and play with until I figure it out.
