Mouse preference panel won't change acceleration for laptop trackpad

[J.B. Nicholson-Owens]

On my laptop, Ubuntu's gnome-mouse-properties won't adjust the acceleration.
Fedora Core 2's mouse preference panel did adjust the acceleration, so I suspect
this is a software setting.

The mouse is always quite fast (too fast for my tastes).

I'm not sure that's a GNOME issue, I've just downloaded the fc2 control-center
package, they
have not patched it. Perhaps a kernel issue ? Somebody else with such problems ?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you still have the problem ? Does it work after "killall gnome-settings-daemon" ?

no reply, bug closed. Feel free to reopen with the asked details if you still
get the issue.
