Hi,

System Settings > Mouse and Touchpad

also; I am not sure if you can do it from here but you need to install "dconf-tools" and use the configuration editor:

dconf editor > org > gnome > desktop > a11y > mouse

and look at the settings there!!.

Did you update your system fully???:

How do you access dconf editor?

You must first install "dconf-tools" and then open "configuration editor" which you will find in the menu under:

> System Tools > dconf editor.

If you installed Zorin 6 Final, please see the post install guide also:

Package Manager says they are installed but they don't appear under System Tools.

Open a terminal and enter:

dconf-editor

Did you first check the settings of the mouse in "System Settings" > Mouse and Touchpad??. There are a couple of sliders you can adjust!!.

I honestly don't know what settings you should employ with dconf editor, you will have to play around with it, there is a default button on the bottom right which you can use to reset the defaults should something not work!.

dconf editor > org > gnome > desktop > a11y > mouse

Is the path to the settings!!.

Yeah, nothing for the scroll wheel. One slight turn of the wheel goes from the top to the bottom of the page bypassing the middle.

Hi,

In short, install the package "gpointing-device-settings" which will show in the menu under: > System tools > Preferences > Pointing Devices

You are going to have to play around with the settings!!!.

Using dconf-editor:

dconf-editor > org > gnome > settings-daemon > peripherals > mouse (I assume motion-acceleration!!!)

Hope it helps!! :D :D
