zerologic Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on my spare PC. And (Y) it's really great. Just one problem that I would like some help with. How do I change the mouse scroll settings. I want each turn of the scroll wheel to scroll 7 lines and not the standard. Yet I don't see it available in the mouse settings. Also. Off topic, but how do I do screenshots in Ubuntu? :blush: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/645527-mouse-scroll-settings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted June 26, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2008 Seems to me that there were settings for the scroll in the control panel area. I don't know Gnome very well, so can't be specific. If not, I am pretty sure you can set it up in X directly. You can take screenshots with Ubuntu/Gnome's built in utility. You can bind it to keys, too, if you like. There are also apps like 'scrot', which may just be a script that calls 'import' (part of imagemagick) which does the real work. I have a keybinding set to import a whole screen (root window) and to select an area with crosshairs (or click to select one window). If the built-in utility doesn't cut it for you, I can help set up import to be exactly what you are looking for.

Thanks for your help markjensen :happy: I actually succeeded in screen capture and editing in Gimp - which is an amazing application! So this is a screenshot of my mouse settings, yeah no scroll setting. :ermm: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/645527-mouse-scroll-settings/#findComment-589511323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Does anyone else know? My scroll wheel is moving past too many lines per click. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/645527-mouse-scroll-settings/#findComment-590709968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elv13 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 You can ajust it in some hal rules or /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in the mouse section. Some recent version of Ubuntu use hal by default. You will have to disable the mouse rules in order to use xorg.conf. Once you can use it, you have acess to a lot of settings availible on the web (it is a text file). It is how I configure my touchpad, I never done that on a mouse.
