I've a Logitech MX518 and the cursor was moving too fast..
It took some googling before I found out (again) how to make the mouse move slower..

The solution to the problem is called lomoco.

$ apt-get install lomoco
$ lomoco -8


This will make the mouse have 800 DPI resolution and makes it a bit slower compared to
the default 1200 DPI.

I also set USB mouse polling a bit more frequent:

/etc/modules

usbhid mousepoll=5


Ok, so I haven't written anything here for a "few" months. But I'm currently upgrading my server again.
But this time I'm doing a bigger physical upgrade too.

New server:
Opteron Dual-Core 2.2GHz
4GB RAM
160GB sys disk
3TB RAID-5 data space

It's running Debian Lenny and currently I've moved the webserver and database to the new server.

Server is now running Debian Etch (4.0).

When upgrading I didn't do a regular upgrade for a few reasons..

I'm happy to report that my forked amarok now loads and runs.
It have its own config files, save dirs and modules etc so you can still have amarok on the system and it should load up just fine.

Patch didn't get that big:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 209K Sep 2 06:52 ut3.patch

It's based upon current SVN for now. I need to do some minor fixing, like making the damn icon work for it (the one that should show up in kicker!). I'll post updates soon

So I got really pissed off now at amarok, or rather, the devs.. I had to make a bug report and it quickly got marked as WONTFIX. So I've decided that I will make a fork of it sometime in the future.
