One problem specific to gaming: Adjusting mouse pointer speed and acceleration is a huge pain.
I've tried SteamOS for gaming but especially playing FPS type games is really bad with acceleration. Disabling it usually requires X.org config changes and knowledge of some semi-arcane acceleration math. It's doable, but certainly not in any way easy.
- i336_ 11y agoIf you're just using xset, you're missing out massively. Use xinput instead, it gives you full access to all of X's acceleration profiles and all the parameters you can tweak with them. http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/PointerAcceleration/ http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/PointerAccel... I cannot agree more that said xinput interface could do with a UI though. Not because I hate the commandline but because repeatedly entering long commands with numbers just kills it for me - there's no rapid feedback loop. And so I continue to avoid using my ThinkPads' Trackpoints because I can never get them to a point where they aren't a strain to use.....
