| Look at xset. xset -help will tell you what you can do.

| /usr/bin/X11. You have to install the MIT X11 subset.

Thanks for the pointer, but if you re-read .0, you will see that I run
VMS 99% if the time, so xset won't help me. Is there something
equivalent for VMS (like an undocumented driver QIO ?).

| 2553.5 | some ideas...lots of flexibility with xset... | SICVAX::GRAHAM | primal screams | Tue Apr 03 1990 02:06 | 13 |

try these in a resource file.
xset m 1 1& : "slow mouse"
xset m default& : "Mouse default"
xset m 4 2& : "fast mouse"
xset m 10 2& : "Speedy Gonzales"

| That's not much help without xset either.
Check out the xlib routine XChangePointerControl. That is what the session
manager uses and what xset uses too.

| 2553.7 | How to set it for VMS | CVG::PETTENGILL | mulp | Tue Apr 03 1990 15:00 | 18 |
| Look for these lines in your DECW$SM_GENERAL.DAT
sm.mouse_accel_numerator: 7
sm.mouse_accel_denominator: 1
sm.mouse_accel_threshold: 3
These parameters indicates that if the pointer has moved 3 pixels then start
moving at 7/1 times the normal rate. So if you change the 7 to 25, then after
a movement of 3 pixels, it will move at about 25 times the rate. If you
change the 3 to a 2, then it will switch to the higher rate after moving 2
pixels. The values that kris is suggesting are 4 for numerator and 2 for
threshold, but those aren't much faster than the above. For really fast,
try a numerator of 100 and a threshold of 1; a twitch will get it across the
screen.
If you want xset for VMS, then copy the following file:
CVG::SYS$GAMES:[ATHENA_X11.X.CLIENTS.XSET]XSET.exe
