As the Title indicates I have some problem with delicate movement of the mouse in Ubuntu fresh installation.



The jerkiness is shown more at small and slow movements when the mouse will move a 2 millimeters to any random positions every 5 centimeters of movements. My mouse is a Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming mouse.



Is there any driver I can use to fix it or any configuration? This is happening both in Unity or inside games and programs.

You may try this to check mouse parameters :



Open a terminal and Run this command:



xinput --list --short


output :



abcd@abcd-abcde:~$ xinput --list --short

Virtual core pointer

↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]

↳ Logitech USB RECEIVER id=12 [slave pointer (2)]


for me my pointing devices are a Lgitech usb reciver and synaptic touchpad



To list out device Properties :



xinput --list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"


check properties like acceleration deceleration and see if they seam allright:



if you need to change any value like suppose this one :



Device Accel Constant Deceleration (267):   2.500000


using this command :



xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.5


You may have to play around with this number a bit to set it exactly as you need.



If you need to set this value automatically every time Ubuntu starts then :



create a .sh file



 #!/bin/sh

"SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 1.5


change the file to executable :



 chmod +x


and Put this in the start-up applications list.
