Mouse on gimx does not work smoothly

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble configuring the mouse on gimx, it works fine but not smoothly, it looks like it's moving like it's going up steps.
Already tried with 2 different mouse.
The first with 1600 dpi of 250Hz
The second 3200 dpi 125Hz mouse
I put both to work with 4 = 250Hz and 8 = 125Hz but they both keep with the same problem.

I'm running on an orangepi 512 ram

If I dont remember wrong, in the wiki is mentioned that a mouse with 5000dpi and 500Hz at least must be used.


btw. what OS are you using on the orangepi?

Hi,
The calibration page of the wiki may be helpful:

I am using Armbian version 5.25 Orangepizero Debian jessie default 3.4.113.

Thinking about what you told me about the need to use a 5000 dpi mouse I see that financially does not compensate because such a mouse costs on average $ 80 and a device like cronusmax costs less than $ 60.

In fact Gimx should not have this requirement of dpi so high given that the Gimx project came up with the intention of not cost much.

It's not a requirement, it's a recommendation.

Post your configuration and I'll have a look.

Also note that you are running GIMX on a very specific platform (not to say unsupported).
There may be issues related to the hardware and/or the kernel version.
