(Solved) Mouse moves faster than windows (e17)

I use KDE as my main DE so I have mainly qt applications. I wanted to try out something new so I downloaded e17, openbox and fluxbox, hoping to try each out for a week and see what I liked.
The problem arises with e17. I'm loving it except for the fact that most of my applications move literally slower than my mouse, its like there's some effect enabled that makes my windows have 'inertia' and move slower than my mouse cursor.
The movement seems to also be toolkit (qt/gtk) independant, however this is hard to judge because I have mainly qt applications other than Rhythmbox.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Probably the easiest "fix" is to delete the .e folder in your home directory. You will need to go through the first-run questions again to recreate it, but saves a lot of experimental box ticking/unticking.
Deleted the .e folder and reconfigured. Problem solved! Thread marked as such. Thanks for your help.

  • Adobe pro 9 changes printers when mouse moves over printer window

    When trying to print an adobe document, the default printer is ignored and the selected printer changes as the mouse moves across the printer window to reach the print button, making it difficult to stabilize the printer selection. Please advise

    I have now checked other people in my departments Adobe versions.
    I have Adobe Pro V9.0.0, and does not print correctly.
    1 person has Adobe XI Pro and prints correctly.
    1 person has Adobe Pro 9.5.5 and prints correctly.
    1 person has Adobe Pro V9.0.0 and does not print correctly
    I have now installed the available upgrades which only took me to 9.2.0 and still prints incorrectly.
    I wil try and find the other updates and see if that helps.

    They are called screens in the man page:

  • Use mouse movement to create parallax

    How would I create a little parallax between layers using the mouse movement rather than the scroll bar? Just trying to create the sense that there is some depth on the page,not massive movement. Sorry don't have an example to show what I mean.

    Yes, you can do that.
    After you have selected your rectangle tool, look in the options bar at the top of the window and click on the down pointing triangle next to the custom shape icon. In the  resulting dialog box click on fixed size and put in your values. Then click on your image and place your shape.

  • Tilting left seems faster than right

    Hi everyone,
    few days ago I was playing this new game "Rolando" and noticed that when I tilt the phone left the cartoon character in the game moves faster than when I roll right.
    I have tried several games, but my tests aren't conclusive, but it does seem to go a bit faster to the left than to the right...
    Is there a way to test this for sure somehow? Does anyone know an App that you would notice the difference in speed? I really need to know quickly so I can try to exchange my phone...

    Urgh... have now found out that my phone is tilted by about 3 degrees to the left after using one of those calibration apps..
    too bad they cannot calibrate the phone... should i replace my phone? is this a common issue?

    sounds more like Bluetooth rather than moue, but w/o knowing w/o posting mac model type/year we... will... not... know... what you have
    All computers are personal computers, a PC though is also "non-Apple" in common usage.
    Mac also is platform and OS.
    Very confused reading what you are trying to tell us.

  • Mouse moves farther when moved faster...  really annoying

    This is really annoying me and I can't believe there is no setting for this.
    All there is is a setting for mouse speed.
    When drawing in photoshop or things like that, if you're trying to draw fast and accurate you can't. Because when you move faster, you're going different lengths then when you move slower. In windows it's all the same, if I move 3 inches going slow I go the same distance as going fast, but not on mac...
    Is there a way to solve this?... You would think they would do something about this.

    Are you using an external USB mouse? If so try downloading the shareware driver USB Overdrive and installing it in place of any third-party mouse software you are presently using. It will give you much greater control over scrolling and tracking speed.
    If you are using the computer's trackpad then you might try installing SideTrack. It also provides more control over tracking and scrolling.
    You will find both at www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.

  • I can download a movie faster over my broadband connection using my ATV3 than the same movie over my LAN

    I can't believe the poor performance of my networked iTunes setup. It has deteriorated over the past 12 months or so such that a purchased movie (HD Dark Knight Rises) can be downloaded from iTunes directly to my ATV3 faster than my n-based network at home even when i wire using 1Gb ethernet! My network connection is via cable, but it still utilises the sme WIFI connection to get to my ATV3 - How can this be?
    I has seen various threads that talk about reseting the network, the ATV's, iTUnes, restarting my iMAC etc. none of which has any effect anymore (it did appear to previously).
    I have iMAC to host iTunes, MacBook, 2 x ATV2 and 1 x ATV3, 2 x Airport Express for audio, 2 x iPad, 2 x iPod, 1 x iPhone 4S and 1 x iPhone 5 so it is safe to say that i am pretty heavily invested in Apple and I love the products but the more invested i become the more dissappointed. It is a real shame that regression testing does not seem to be high on their agenda these days.
    If there are any bright ideas out there i would love to hear them cos i have run out for now..............
    Thanks
    SB

    From my Airport Extreme, throughout my network (other than my cable router) everything is Apple, I update when patches become available. I check using iStumblr what conflicts there might be. Basically, other than the network being in my house it is as close to being the defacto Apple setup as it could be (notwithstanding my applications which are not that numerous).
    Furthermore why can the same network enable me to stream from the iTunes store the same movie across the same network faster than on my local LAN where the only difference is going to be the location from where the data is "served". Especially when everything has worked in the past.
    You are correct though in many respects given that the term network is loosely attributed to everything from the cable through WIFI and the chipset and firmware. So generically it is likely to be the "network" or an attribute of it. It would appear however that my issues coincided with a firmware upgrade, I would be very happy to uninstall and go back to previous versions to solve my problem but it isn't possible and I have no intention of jailbreaking my devices. If I could then i would nail the problem and inform Apple of my findings.
    So, given that I am entrely Apple, that I install all firmware updates across all products and that I check for network interference............
    Hence the reason for the post.

  • Drop Down Menu's Don't Close with Fast Mouse Movement

    Hi, I am an extreme novice in Flash and I've built a drop down menu following a tutorial from YouTube - sadly this took me days! It functions BUT fast mouse movement away from the menu drop down seems to prevent the drop down menu from closing. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
    Second question - I know how to create text links but when I do this the text's position jumps down without me having told it to. So is there a way to apply a link to a button rather than the text in the button, and is it possible to also apply a link to a movie clip?
    Thanks in advance.
    My flash file can be downloaded via ftp:http://www.yousendit.com/download/K0JUa3ZEb0JrUm14dnc9PQ

  • Mac vs. Windows Mouse Movement

    This issue applies to mice (trackpad is fine).
    I am using a wireless Logitec M705 mouse.  I have one for my work Windows PC, and my MacBook Pro.
    I honestly prefer the movement of the Windows mouse over the Mac mouse.  I feel the Windows mouse is true to your movements, whereas the Mac will speed up and slow down.  This makes general movement difficult and frustrating overall.  I understand this movement is preferred for power design and graphic users, but I am not one of them; standard movement to browse YouTube and Facebook for me, please!
    I have tried using the settings from the Mac Mouse application, and the Logitech application, but it will still give me the odd movement.  Is there something to make a mouse more "Windows" like for the Mac?  A driver or program?

    Okay, I read this on another forum.
    Go to system preferences, and go to Mouse and set the "Tracking" to the highest setting (fastest).
    This doesn't completely eliminate the problem however. But it makes it easier to adapt to. I just bought a Macbook pro and bought a logitech M310 wireless mouse.
    Honestly, as a lifetime windows user before that, I realized I had grown up using a mouse with a faster movement speed (to avoid picking up the mouse a lot), it's something you get used to. Just like how Mac users are used to this "acceleration".

  • Installed Window 7 on DV6700 but mouse movement not smooth as before

    Installed Window 7 on HP DV6700 but mouse movement not as smooth as before. When you move your finger on the touch pad  but the pointer does not move along as smooth as it should. Is it because of driver problem? if yes then is there a more suitable driver to use and where can I download it?
    When I used it with Window Vista ,there was no problem. Thanks.
    One more things, there is no longer the beep sound when you press the sound button to increase or decrease the sound. The buttons on top of the keyboard. Do I need to download another driver?

    Synaptics touchpad here
    For the click sound, you need either HP Quick Touch from your Vista drivers page or 3RVX here .

  • Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word.

    Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word. Sample Editor playback sounds like Alvin on a meth binge. Spoken phrase is generated from Textspeech. Textspeech can export files as WAV files or MP3 files. Perhaps a clue?:   When exported Textspeech WAV file is dragged and dropped into track in arrange area of new project, it exhibits same supersonic speed. When Textspeech file is exported as MP3 file and dragged and dropped in arrange area track, it plays at correct speed.

    Thanks Erik,
    If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
    As an aside....
    I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...)  were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

    I take 16 seconds in Arch 64, but never bump against a memory constraint (looks like about 1/3 of RAM used max).
    My colleague, with Windows, takes 7 seconds.
    The R documentation says 32 bit R is about 10% faster in some cases, but that doesn't explain a 50% difference.
    I *think* I have compiled 32 bit R on my system and it doesn't seem to go any faster.
    By contrast I run a python loop a bit faster than my colleague.
    Thoughts?
    If I run that on my Arch64 box, it takes 23 sec.  If I run it a second time it takes 6 sec.
