Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Using the mouse properties dialog to adjust sensitivity does not affect my laptop's touchpad. This is annoying as it is too slow currently.

Confirmed with Gutsy 64-bit Tribe-5 with updates to 18th September, 2007.

The mouse sensitivity control doesn't affect the bluetooth mouse either.

Also, Gsynaptics sensitivity control doesn't affect the touchpad so this might be a more general problem.

This is a regression; both work on the Feisty 32-bit installation on the same PC.

Both my ASUS USB mouse and Synaptics Touchpad (on an Asus F3SV laptop) also do not seem to respond to Gnome's sensitivity speed setting or gsynaptic's sensitivity touchpad preference. Disconnecting the USB mouse makes no change in either UI.

by the way, i just realize, what do gsynaptics have to do with this, do you try to adjust the sensitivity with that too?, or was just guessing the package?
