UNIX

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


Server is now running Debian Etch (4.0).

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

I have updated the infoplug hack some and made patches for amarok 1.3.7 and 1.4.0-svn (current trunk).
I fixed a bug which made it show current time in minutes:seconds instead of hours:minutes:seconds when the time was 60 minutes or more..
Also, Last Played have now been added.

1.3.7
1.4.0-svn

Only 1.4.0-svn version have been tested. Second chunk for app.h is different for 1.3.7 and it applies with some fuzz, hopefully it will compile too! =)

I have updated the patch again, fixed a bunch of bugs.. It should just work now!


$ tar -xjvf amarok-1.3.2.tar.bz2
$ cd amarok-1.3.2/amarok/src
$ wget http://novell.stoldgods.nu/~magnus/amarok/1.3.2/infoplug.patch
$ patch < infoplug.patch
$ cd ../..
$ ./configure ...


I have updated the hack and the new files can be found here:
Patch
infoplug.cpp
infoplug.h

Put the files in $source/amarok/src/
and then run

$ patch -p0 < infoplug.patch
