[haiku-development] Mouse <-> touchpad settings woes

Hi there!

Know what starts getting annoying a bit? On my notebook, I use the 
touchpad when mobile (well, sitting still on the sofa...) and a mouse 
when at the desk. Therefore, the mouse settings always suck: mouse too 
fast, pad too slow.

Is it feasible to detect if the mouse is moved and use one setting and 
if it's the touchpad another? Provided the Mouse Preferences gains a 
little drop-down menu that learns every newly connected HID device 
(different mouse models, touchpad if available, graphics tablet...) and 
a method to remove a no longer needed entry. [Seldom used devices could 
sink down in that list and become paler over time.]

If it's not possible to change on-the-fly by detecting which device 
produces the input, maybe it'd be enough for notebook usage to 
automatically switch to the mouse setting, when it detects one at a USB 
port without analyzing where the signals are coming from.

Thanks.

Regards,
Humdinger
