Reinstalled ubuntu on its own partition, fully updated, installed gimx .24,tested it with my sidewinder mouse ingame and still have the problem with my mouses sensitivity, my mouse moves to the right fine but in any other directions it barely moves, went to tweak it in config and while it does now recognize my sidewinder it still crashes on auto detect or on any attempt to modify a value, switched mouse to see if it was the problem and i still have the same problem with 2 different mice.

gonna retry those console commands then attempt to roll back gmix to see if i have any luck.

P.S. ive rolled back to .22 and the config seems to be working, crossing my fingers that this will work untill theres a fix for my issues with .24

[Warbl]

Ok so ive managed to make gimx work despite my technical issues by just modifying my profiles in gimx .22 and running the actual emulator in .24, .22 doesnt allow me to auto detect my mouse movement so i have to tweak mouse performance by editing the values in .22, not practical but its working and after some extensive tweaking (mouse poll rate, etc) it looks like this setup is gonna work for now so thanks alot for the advice and cant wait for the next build.

The good news is, I'm on the way to fix this issue. It may take some time (a few days to a week) until I release new packages.

Did you tried to tweak your mouse parameters using the calibration mode (checkbox in gimx-bluetooth) of v0.24?

[Warbl]

I have but they always seem to roll back upon exiting, its not a big deal though because i can tweak and test on .22, so when im comfortable with a build il switch over to .24 until i need to build a new profile.

all i have left to do is tweak the trigger profile to get a smooth zoom with right mouse click.

awesome piece of software.

Maybe it rolls back with v0.22, but it shouldn't with v0.24. If it rolls back with v0.24, there is a bug.

[Warbl]

Well theres something wrong with .24 when i use it, not only cant i save configs in calibration mode but whenever i use the emulator in .24 it only works for 2-3 minutes before disconnecting, i recently switched BT adapters to test speeds and found the one im currently using to be alot smoother but it could be that.

When i run .22 with my current BT adapter it works fine but occasionally on restarts il get this BT error "KO" which then requires me to reinstall .22 but so far .22 is my best bet.

il retry to run those commands you linked earlier to give you a better look at my system.
