Mouse scrolling speed

[Dolev Farhi]

Hi all
I'm running Debian 6 with GNOME.
My mouse scroll is somewhat slow, It takes about 5-6 scrolls to get to
the bottom of a page.
in the mouse control GUI there is no indication of scrolling speed.
Googling about this brought no solutions except using XFCE.
anyone got a clue how to speed up the mouse scroll?

I know that xset can be used to change the mouse pointer speed. Maybe
it's able to change the scroll speed as well, but the man page doesn't
seem to mention it. But if you've got no other leads, you might want to
look into xset in case I missed something in the man page.

And for reference, here are my pointer settings
Pointer Control:
acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4

Tried it, apparently this only adjusts the mouse acceleration speed
(movement) (using $(xset m 2/1 4)) but not the scrolling speed.

Any other suggestions?

You might try xinput.

My scroll wheel, however, if I'm understanding the output I will reveal
below correctly, is already adjusted to most the rapid setting (which is
1; the higher the value the slower the scroll).

And is this quality (scrolliness) not also application-dependant?

Oops. That looks like "whole mouse" swiftiness. Wait a second.

I don't know. You'd have to experiment.
