Mouse scrolling issue

[edgy marsh]

Hi , how do i increase scrolling speed of the mouse , i used the ones from the settings but seems not working at all when i increase or decrease it , nothing changed

[floral dome]

what I use for my mouse/keyboard is plugging them in to a windows pc, change the device settings and then connect them to the Linux system again, since for me, some settings get saved on the device itself

I mostly do that with key mapping and dpi scaling, but maybe it works as well with scroll speed.

For me i have just a simple havit mouse , not that big gaming wireless ones 😅 so i dont think i have a software for it

[floral dome]

try the windows settings, maybe it works

[edgy marsh]

On windows i can change it on settings and it works but they are settings of the mouse in wimdows settings not the the settings of the mouse itself so if i change system i need do it again

welp

thats where my help ends, sorry, I tried

maybe see if there's a driver for the mouse, but if it's a normal mouse then chances are low

like, a driver where you can change settings for the mouse itself rather than windows settings

Np , thanks for help😁

there's an app called Piper. it may require some dependency or not. try the Flatpak

You can also install imwheel

sudo apt install imwheel

then create a .imwheelrc file in your home folder with this content

".*"
None, Up, Button4, 3
None, Down, Button5, 3

where 3 is the scrolling speed for up and down separately.

test with

imwheel -k

if works, you can add it as startup item.

to cancel you can use

killall imwheel

[edgy marsh]

I ll check this too , lol though its a bit confusing 😅

[thorn sapphire]

Yes, it is a bit convoluted, but if the gui doesn't give you an option you can make one yourself in a way. Better that being stuck with not having an option

On antix is there a way to fix scrolling of the mouse bcs in settings there is just pointers not scrolling 😅 , and even display couldnt find a way to change it

[edgy marsh]

Yeah , i ll test it too on my other linux antix and see if it works with just settings then go for imwheel

display, use <app select> arandr

[edgy marsh]

😅 with arandr cpudlnt find anything. Tried everything nothing changed , what about the scrolling settings of the mouse ?

[rich swift]

arandr is for the resolution and/or multiple screens you like.

you set up the parameters in it, then click the checkmark to apply

you can also save that as a profile from the save menu

pretty sure no settings for mouse scroll rate. will need the third party app suggested

[edgy marsh]

No i mean the resolition i d like to keep it 1920-1080just screen scale make it bigger , bcs its a bit small like the 125%in windows

[rich swift]

hmmm

[edgy marsh]

Yeah couldnt find it in the package manager on antix 😅

So i thought maybe with another distro , i could find those settings

[rich swift]

did u click the "repos" tab of the package manager, NOT just "Popular Apps"

[edgy marsh]

Oh ok found it

[rich swift]

for scaling, you probably have to do 0.8 ( 1 / 1.20) https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/scaling-desktop-ui-in-antix-for-high-resolution-screens/

using xrandr

[edgy marsh]

I think since my mouse is havit , and ita simple , i think that app can recognize just the gaming version , the wireless type with softwares

[rich swift]

the imwheel app, not Piper

[edgy marsh]

Couldnt find the app after installing it 😅

[rich swift]

imwheel?
