I have a somewhat funny question. :)
How can I adjust the mouse pointer acceleration in MorphOS? I'm not asking about the speed, just the acceleration.

@MDW: i think there is no acceleration on MorphOS, i think it was on AmigaOS 3.x there was a case to tick for acceleration.

+1 for implementing mouse acceleration in MorphOS. It always feels a bit compromise to try to set it with the speed setting only. Should have requested this years ago, but better late than never :)

It’s a bit strange. I’m not sure, but there might have been a commodity for setting acceleration in AmigaOS. I don’t know why, because the setting was always available in AmigaOS 3. However, I will try to find the commodity (util/mouse directory on the Aminet). I hope it was a separate commodity, not part of MCP. :)

Maybe this? mouseaccel

The speed slider actually adjusts the acceleration.

Could there be separate sliders for the speed and acceleration? Because currently it doesn't accelerate enough for my taste with my equipment.

For example, if I set speed fast enough to be able to move the mouse pointer from opposite part of the screen to the screen depth gadget without having to move the mouse too much, it becomes quite difficult to do any accurate work with the mouse. The old AmigaOS acceleration was better for me in this regard.

Mouse DPIs and display resolutions can vary quite a lot nowadays, so maybe it would be good to offer better tuning options for users?

Really?! Now I understand why it only bothered me a little so far. The acceleration is there, but it's a bit lower than I would like.

The tool mouseaccel on Aminet proposed by Sailor work fine on MorphOS.

There is a GUI to set the acceleration (4 is good for me) but i didn't know/understand the second option...

Thank you, Sailor. I will try the tool.
Papiosaur confirmed that it works (thanks), so it is probably the (hopefully temporary) solution I need.

I have tried the mouseaccel. It is very old soft but works very well. ACCELERATION=2 (or 3 - I can't decide yet) and THRESHOLD=5 are good for me.

Thank you Sailor, it is what I need.
