Unix MX518 changing DPI + Poll Rate

by dklaaas • 5 Jan 2009, 17:30 • Journals
Hello guys,

I got a problem.

Yesterday I installed Unix (Ubuntu - Gnome Environment) on my PC.
I'm very happy with it,But my problem is how can I change now the DPI of my mice?And how can I change the HZ(Poll) Rate of my USB-Ports?The third question is,how can I use all my buttons with the mice?Not only the default ones.

I googled before,but most of the stuff is old and not working anymore.

Thanks guys.

I don't know. Sometimes he is online at MSN in the evening,but not very often like a few weeks ago.

Maybe he has to do some things for the school. I don't know. But he's definetly not dead :D

Yea, the same for me. Just get used to it.

MX518 is worth it to click every time you restart, I can´t play without it anymore :/

I will.But now I'm a little bit happier.I'm not the only one with this problem ;)

What about Mouse Accleration? Do I have to disable it a Unix too or is it not supported?

I would. But the problem is my PC is lagging around like hell.Don't ask me why.

Got this problem since 3 Weeks.Reinstalled the system 7 times, New HDD,new RAM.Nothing changed.

My PC was lagging around when I listened to music and was surfing at the same time and my PC is not bad at all. :X

So yesterday I decided to switch to Ubuntu and now it's fine.Can listen to Music,playing and surfing without lags.

I think I set up my mx518 with the guide found here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219894

it's meant for ubuntu 7.04 but my mouse still works after updating to 7.10 so feel free to give it a try!
(dpi change works and the thumb buttons too if you assign them in games)

(worst thing that can happen is that nothing will work anymore :p)
