(highlight the command section of the line above, then paste it into the
command line. Add ‘rel -G 3’ to the end.)bash$ devi-hirun kbd fd -d/dev/kbd
msoft fd -d /dev/ser1 rel -G 3 You now have two keyboard/mouse handlers,
kill the old one.bash$ kill 4333600 That should add ‘times Three’
acceleration to your mouse. Ifigured this out today… bash$ use devi-hirun

And he really screwed up the formatting !!!

Here’s a more readable version…

Tnx for suggestions Rick but your sequence of instructions
has gotten a little mixed up.

Yeah. I saw that the formatting was screwed by
(Deja-News + QNX/Voyager). Let’s try this again…

To make the mouse faster:

Find the command line for the current input driver

bash# ps | grep devi

The response is in the form of (thread id, parent thread id, command
line)

4333600 1 devi-hirun kbd fd -d/dev/kbd msoft fd -d /dev/ser1

Highlight the third field (beginning with devi-hirun) with the mouse
and ‘copy’ it.

Paste the old command line at the shell prompt, then add an option.

bash# devi-hirun kbd fd -d/dev/kbd msoft fd -d /dev/ser1 rel -G 3

(The reference page for devi-hirun gave me this option, you can use
the help menu under “utilities” to read it, or type “use devi-hirun”
at the shell prompt.)

Either way, the mouse should be 3 times as responsive now.

Kill the old input driver by thread number

bash# kill 4333600

At this point, I was happy with stuff. You might want to play with
other options as listed in the “use” equivalent to a manpage.

Hopefully, the formatting here was better.

Igor,

I am still learning QNX/rtp myself, and my mouse has
always worked. I wish I could be more helpful.
