How to decrease mouse speed (easy question, can't find answer)

Hello Archers. I bought a new mouse which has a resolution of 800 DPI and no option to change it like game mice have (a button that changes colors when you change resolution with it). After connecting it to my Arch box it turned out to be faster then what I got used to with my previous mice that had an option to choose DPI. I would like to decrease speed of my pointer in IceWM Xorg. I don't have DE, just Xorg and IceWM.
xset m 0 0
won't do it, it just sets acceleration to 0. And apparently doesn't even work on newest systems.
Tried to add
Option "Resolution" "600"
to "xorg.conf" to try to change mouse resolution to 600 DPI and it had no effect.
There is also popular answer for this search query but it doesn't seem to answer my case. If I type in
xinput list
I have
⎜ ↳ USB OPTICAL MOUSE id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
as my mouse. Now
xinput list-props 8
and I get
Device ' USB OPTICAL MOUSE':
Device Enabled (141): 1

Luke in that answer pointed out "Device Accel Constant Deceleration (267): 2.500000" which I don't seem to have. So are there any working ways to decrease pointer speed in Xorg for Arch?
An LQ.org forum member suggested to look at wiki page which I did and the left solution also didn't help. Creating file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-deceleration.conf" with the config wiki suggests doesn't decrease mouse speed. Please help me to do it.

Ok, bad dice. Last throw from me: Did you install: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sor … nput-mouse ?
man mouse_drv wrote:Option "Sensitivity" "float"
              Mouse movements are multiplied by this float before  being  pro‐
              cessed.  Use  this  mechanism to slow down high resolution mice.
              Because values bigger than 1.0 will result in not all pixels  on
              the  screen being accessible, you should better use mouse accel‐
              eration (see man xset) for  speeding  up  low  resolution  mice.

  • How to eject my camera when i can't find an icon for it

    I want to eject my camera from my macbook pro but I can't find an icon on my dock, or in the computor section of my finder.  I therefore don't know how to eject it since i can't drag it into the trash or select eject from the list of options since there is no icon that i can find of my camera on there!  Does anyone know how i can safely eject it?  I also keep on putting memory cards into my macbook pro and then taking them out without ejecting them - is that a bad idea?  If so then I don't know how to eject them either since i can't find them on my computor either!
    My ipod doesn't come up as an icon on my dock either, it just comes up in itunes - is there some way of causing icons to pop up on the dock?
    Sorry - a lot of questions there! It's a new laptop!
    Thanks

    I need to apply for a job but I'm told I need to enable cookies and java script, how do I do that?  I can't find it in system preferences
    I just updated to the new operating system which i'm starting to think was a bad idea, because it reset all my settings and I don't know how to fix them.

    so when I go to safari>preferences>security>uncheck box labled enable java script  links on webpages don't work and pictures and links son't want to appear on websites.  this made it so webpages don't want to work past loading the content in text format.  I have to check enable java script to go the webpages to work right so images and links work again but when I try to apply for this job the error message pops up saying I need to enable cookies and java script.
    SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS IF JAVA SCRIPT IS ALREADY ENABLED HOW TO I ENABLE COOKIES?

  • Whilst setting up home share on my husband's laptop was quite easy I can't find a home page on iTunes on my new iPad to do it?

    Whilst setting up home share on my husband's laptop was quite easy I can't find a home page on iTunes on my new iPad to do it?

    The ID you use for home sharing should be the same on all devices, it doesn't need to be the same ID you use for other things.
    So if together you have the ID's [email protected] and [email protected] (say) then you might use [email protected] for your iTunes Store account and [email protected] for home sharing and he might use [email protected] for his iTunes Store account and [email protected] for home sharing

  • How do i reset my security questions i forgot the answers to them?

    How do i reset my security questions i forgot the answers to them?

    Ok, same here, purchases cant be made, becouse as an addition to the password, apple wants your answer to security questions now... The problem with that questions is, the answers were never needed and now long forgotten!
    A quicklink from Neil DOESNT solve nothing. As I first sign in to Apple, got My Apple ID, no RESCUE EMAIL was needed. With no such email I have NO CHANCE to reset this security questions.
    If I reset my password, there in NO OPTION to reset this security questions as well.
    So, I am strandend with some 30 bucks on my Apple acount and for now no way to spend it, thats OK, but some Apps want authentication for even updating, so I am stuck with no updates either... I purchased for about 500 bucks in last years from Apple, maybe thats it for me...
    (Apple ***** more and more, maybe ut ist time to move to Android; a personal opinion).
    A SOLUTION? Is there a way reseting your security questions with ONLY your Apple ID, the password for it nad a primary and alternate email; without a rescue email setup and no way to set it up???
    Thx for your support, for long time I know now there is no help to be expected from Apple Service...

    IWGhost,
    Try / Consider: 
    Adjust the delay sense on the TouchPad, adjust the sensitivity level and active "touch" area
    Method One:
    Start Screen > type anywhere > PC Settings >
    Click to start PC Settings (/ Right Click to Pin program to Start Screen) >
    PC Settings > PC and Devices > Mouse and TouchPad >>  
    Adjust "TouchPad" delay settings as desired
    Method Two:
    Depending on your computer model, and Synaptics driver type and version, the following may help.
    Assumes latest HP / Synaptics driver installed as available for your Product and OS version.
    Examples show Synaptics version 17.0.8 - HP Envy 17t Quad - Windows 8.1

  • Easy Questions . . .Please Answer

    Ok so i have the new Airport Express 802.11n jobbie and i have just managed to set it up with my BT homehub
    the green light is on and its working (i think)
    Ok so the reasons i bought it was.
    1) love the wireless printing idea
    2) love the wireless music idea
    3) to plug an Ethernet Voip phone into (the home hub is in another room)
    4) i got it for £52.95
    ok so i have connected it in client mode (i think) where all the computers (theres is 3 of them in our house) connect to the homehub and so does the airport.
    What i want to know is how do i stop the other 2 computers using the airtunes and the wireless printing features. Basically i want the airport to myself for my home office which it was bought for and don't want everyone else stealing the features.
    Thanks!

    +What i want to know is how do i stop the other 2 computers using the airtunes and the wireless printing features.+
    Easy Questions....But not easy answers
    Since you have configured the AirPort Express in the home office as a client on the network, it's going to be visible and accessible from any other devices on the network. There's no way to change this or prevent access to the office AirPort Express.
    If...you configure the office AirPort Express to "create a wireless network", and set it up with a different wireless network name and password, you could create a "private" network for yourself.
    Here, I am assuming that the stereo is connected to the office AirPort Express, is that correct?
    The downside to this approach is that you would not have internet access on this network.
    If...you connected the AirPort Express to the HomeHub using an ethernet connection, you might be able to access the internet from your "private" network. I say might because I don't know enough about the HomeHub to know whether this would be allowed. I think you should assume that it can't to keep expectations at a realistic level.

  • How do I change my security questions without having to answer my security questions??

    Here's the deal. I'm a little drunk, just tryin to buy a good song I heard on The Voice (yeah whatever) and I can't remember my password, my email info, or my security questions. Ten minutes later and I remember my itunes password. Great right? Well, while I took note of my newfound password, I am worried that those security questions might be needed later in life. And my question is about where I was for the new year in 2000. I don't knooooww. That was 12 years ago, and quite frankly, I was probably drunk when I answered that too. So how do I go about changing those questions without having to answer them?? **
    ** To be read in Dennis Reynolds voice..... but also to be taken very seriously.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
