[arch-general] Bring back the old X11 values
In the latest Xorg updates, there is a major change in the default of mouse mouvment and key repeating speed. How can I change these back? I am really used to the old ones and the new ones just slow down my workflow.

I haven't noticed any difference, but try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_Xorg

The new mouse movement and keyboard repeat speeds aren't to your taste. You want the old ones back. Questions: 1) Do you know what the old settings were? Kind of moot to ask for help and then give such a vacuous response when help is offered, if you don't know what the settings are that have actually changed. 2) Similarly, what's "not helping?" That response suggests that you know what you're looking for, and couldn't find it on those wiki pages. Yet if you know what you're looking for, you should already have an idea where to look for it... 3) If you're unsure of what the necessary settings actually are, how are you testing the current ones vs. the previous ones? No offense, but are you sure you aren't imagining this? Folks need more to go on than this. Is the key repeat speed too fast? Too slow? Do you use a custom keymap? I'm limiting my questions to the keyboard, because changing mouse speed and sensitivity is usually trivial. -- "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams

Yea, you're right. As for the links provided I meant "The links are not help, 'cause I don't know the old values". Sorry for the misunderstanding. The mouse is too slow (and sometimes, WAY too slow, if I make a small movement). The key repeat is also slow. I am asking for the old values of the mouse sensitivity/acceleration/etc and key repeat. Just how they were before the update. I am not "imagining" (I thought of it too in the first place), because I get frustrated times that I really am focused on other things (ex. when copy/pasting code from one monitor to another) Thank you.
Why not just tinker around using xset and xinput? Once you have the values you like you can add the xset/xinput commands to your .xinitrc or edit the x11 configuration file. On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 5:28 PM, Dimitris Zervas <dzervas@dzervas.gr> wrote:
