The thread of responses from the Wayland issue tracker about why "allowing the user to change the scroll speed" is an impossible problem to solve is truly depressing: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/issues/87 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/issues/87
- jandrese 7y agoI don't know why it would be a Weyland or X issue. Scroll speed should be controlled by the widgets, GTK in the case of GNOME. Trying to set it at the compositor level seems misguided.
- paulddraper 7y agoHaven't used Weyland, but X is far more than "a compositor." Keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, etc.
- jandrese 7y agoX stops at a very low level. Scroll Wheel events in X are treated as button presses. There's no X API call to get a "scroll by this much" per Button4 or Button5 events. It wouldn't even make sense in the context. All of that is handled by libraries above the X level.
