Hi all,

How do i adjust the speed of the mouse-wheel in ubuntu 5.04? I installed it this morning and everything else is 100%, but the wheel scrolls to slowly for me. I;ve done a couple of searches on www.ubuntulinux.org, www.linuxquestions.org, www.gnome.org etc but didn't find any concrete information.

My second question (although i admit that i have not done a lot of searching on this one so i'm not yet too phased about it) is dual monitor support. I would like to know if its possible to extend my desktop to a second monitor like in windoze?


Please help?

and about the scrolling speed .. I donnu ... I think gnome would have such a utility to chage it ... but I suppose you could put Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and maybe up the delta

Thanks Nordic, i'll give it a bash in a while (i'm back in windows need to do some work sad.gif ). The Gnome mouse control app doesn't allow you to specify the mouse scrolling speed only the actual pointer speed.

I'm going to try the Kubuntu (KDE for Ubuntu) install a try as well to see if KDE does things a bit better.
