[comp.windows.x] Dec 3100's mouse

shulman@alpha.ces.cwru.edu (Leo Shulman) (10/22/90)

I am writing a real-time application in X on the 3100s.  I would 
like to re-scale my mouse.  That is, I need the motion of 390 X pixels 
to be equivalent to 120 cms (~ 47 inches) on the table (pad).  
So, I need to get about 3 pixels/cm.  Default settings are about 
30 pixels/cm.  If I get desperate, I could build a counter, that 
would divide the number of pulses generated by the mouse, thus 
giving me the desired scale.

However, I would like to be able to do this in software.  I can't 
seem to find a way to do it with the mouse settings.  Is it possible
to do it by defining a new pointer device with the appropriate scale?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
