Mac Pro :: Mouse Acceleration Differences Between OS X And Windows
Nov 1, 2010As a long time Windows user when I first started using OS X a couple years ago, I remember the mouse control driving me nuts. It can be quite hard to get used to the OS X acceleration control. I explored a couple of the programs to let you customize the acceleration, but I guess my brain eventually just adapted as it stopped bothering me.
Now though, I am spending a good amount of time in Win 7 on my new Mac Pro. I'm finding that again, every time I go into OS X I find the mouse control very hard to adjust to. It's a Logitech Anywhere MX Mouse and I installed the drivers in both Win 7 and OS X.
Perhaps I am just loosing my mind...but it would be nice if I could have the exact same mouse experience when switching between OS's.
(edit: As a little bit of a further observation, I think the Win 7 mouse refresh rate is several times faster than what I observing in OS X and this is probably a big part of why I am feeling like I have more control in Win 7. Doing circles with my mouse in Win 7 creates a much more complete circle.)
Windows On Mac :: Acceleration Path For Mouse Tracking
Jul 3, 2010I have been a long time Macbook Pro user and I finally got around to installing bootcamp to run some windows software for school. I'm sure that many of you have noticed how the acceleration path for the mouse tracking on OS X feel "different" than Windows and my problem is that I prefer the OSX method of tracking and can't stand the fidgety nature of windows tracking (especially while using the new buttonless trackpads which work great on OSX but fail miserably on windows). I did a search on google and found that there are many ways to get the OS X tracking to "feel" like windows using software like USBOverdrive but I couldn't find any solutions for my problem which involves the opposite, getting windows tracking to feel like OS X.

First major issue is that I have to click twice on mostly everything. If im in a different window and want to click on a link in the browser I have to click twice.
Windows On Mac :: Finding VmWare 3d Acceleration Driver Install?
Aug 6, 2007I tried to install counter-strike on my vmware image of windows xp pro x64 edition. The thing is that when I opened up the application, I was told that I could only run in software mode. How do play the game utilizing my geforce 8600gt graphics card?
I have already checked the box VirtualMachine->Settings->Display->Accelerate 3D graphics. So this shouldn't be the problem.
I also tried downloading a driver from nvidias web site, but I could not install it.

Aug 27, 2009I was running Bootcamp with Windows Vista smoothly until I decided to install Parallels 4.0 on my Mac 10.5.8. After installing Parallels, it loaded my Bootcamp installation which sort of freaked me out and so I closed Parallels without doing too much. When I booted Vista today, I tried running games that requried Direct X or enhanced graphics and they are not working! These games used to work fine before I had installed Parallels! I even tried fixing the Bootcamp installation by repairing the drivers through the installation cd that came with Leopard, but I still get the same problem!

Aug 1, 2009Since going with the Mac Pro about two years ago, I've enjoyed lots of PC games. I've installed a larger Nvidia graphics card and have enjoyed its improved performance over the stock card. I also have a copy of Windows Vista 64 bit sitting on my shelf. However I ask myself?why? Why do gamers even need Vista or Windows 7 for that matter? Most games are still written for Direct X 9.0c and Windows XP. I'm sure that will change over time, but very few games are coded for Direct X 10 with the advent of Vista.

MacBook :: Using GPU Acceleration For H.264 Decode?
Oct 17, 2008I just purchased an Aluminum MacBook 2.4GHz today, and I tried playing some H.264 Trailers and I am shocked by the performance. My other MacBook Pro 2.4GHz playing a 1080p trailer is using about 100% CPU (out of 200%) but my new MacBook played the same trailer at only 28% CPU usage (out of 200%). I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is some GPU decode acceleration happening with the 9400M GPU because the difference here is quite huge.

Aug 30, 2009I have a question about how OpenCL works. What programs can utilize the GPU for processing?

It seems like everyone is excited about OpenCL and GPU acceleration, but how often is it used?
View 6 Replies View RelatedOS X :: How To Kill Mouse Acceleration In OS X
Nov 1, 2009This works best with "How to speed up mouse tracking in OS X", found elsewhere in this forum.
Note that mouse acceleration in OS X cannot be terminated completely, unless you are using something like USB OVerdrive. Assuming you are not using or do not want to use USB overdrive or similarly complete solution, read on.
Download the source here:

You'll get a Unix executable file. Open a Terminal window and drop the file onto it.
After "killmouseaccel", type "mouse" (without quotation marks), and make sure a space remains between the two words. Then hit enter.
Effect is immediate. Logging out or restarting will kill the effect, so you'll have to run it each time. You might be able to set it to an automatic script upon logging in. Something I haven't figured out yet.
Ideally, it's best to increase the mouse tracking speed first (using instructions I posted elsewhere in this forum), which should be permanent until you reset the speed in the actual mouse pref pane, and then run the executable to kill mouse acceleration.

Mac Pro :: Hardware Acceleration - Browser Speeds
Dec 26, 2010Since we still seem to lag without hardware acceleration, just thought I'd give the new opera 11 a run, not quite scientific, but just my own interest.
On Peacekeeper -
Opera 11.00.1156 - 7213
Safari 5.0.3 - 5116
Chromium 10.0.603.0 - 5088
Firefox 4.0b9 (20101226) - 4762
And then a javascript (sunspider) test, but only with chrome, since thats what I use. Chromium 10.0.603.0 - 243ms. Opera 11.00.1156 - 273ms. So looks like its now on par in the javascript and the best at html5 rendering so far interesting, also finally has extensions!

View 11 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Fixing Mouse Curve Acceleration?
Feb 2, 2009I'm having some trouble with my Logitech V450 Nano mouse. It feels awkward compared to a regular PC mouse.
To be more specific, I have trouble accurately moving the cursor. When I move the cursor a short distance, it feels like I'm moving through mud. By contrast, when I move the mouse over a longer distance, it feels much faster. This makes it really difficult for me to close windows and play any sort of FPS game.
Now, the Logitech software allows me to change the mouse acceleration, but it still feels really awkward. I've experimented with almost every setting but the speed still doesn't feel accurate/consistent. Does this make sense or am I taking crazy pills?
OS X :: 10.6.1 And H264 Hardware Acceleration With 9400M?
Sep 10, 2009After I installed 10.6.1, my 17" uMBP doesn't play 1080p quicktime trailers if I use the 9400M chip. They play at really bad fps with QuicktimeX player. I use VLC to play them and they play as good as usual. So the 10.6.1 somehow broke the hardware acceleration part of 9400M for me. QuicktimeX player tries to accelerate the playback by hardware, which doesn't work, so it can't play them. VLC does it by CPU and it works.
I didn't have this issue with 10.6.
Anyone else with uMBP can test this out?
P.S. If I use the 9600 GT, they play nicely on QuicktimeX player as well as before.

OS X Mavericks :: Administrator Account Unavailable
Jun 24, 2014Two days ago when I woke up and open my MacBook Pro (OS Maverick), I started with a strange windows (than we can get with cmd+r). My hard drive was broken so I followed the proposed steps. I made a backup with TimeMachine. I lost a lot of data 'cause I wasn't able to go back on the Finder and save the things I need. So, I lost important things... Well, after Time Machine backup, I had few more troubles. Now, I can't use a lot of my software. I try to update everything, BUT my user profil isn't administrator anymore.
