I have an iMac 27" and it takes so much time to move the mouse pointer from the upper left corner to the center of the screen to click my account entry on the login screen.
Isn't there a way to increase the mouse speed on the login screen?
(Also, I think I'll file a bug or suggestion for Apple to start Mac OS X with the mouse cursor centered rather than in the upper left corner.)
I'm against your issue on the position of the pointer, having it centered makes it simpler to trace it than having it in a corner... think about moving the mouse in the opposite direction of the screen center, you'll not be able to find the pointe you are looking for! +1 for the general question instead. – drAlberT – 2010-01-27T08:21:00.190
5As a workaround: maybe type the first letters of the name you want to use, to select it? Or press arrow-down to get to the name you want. (@AlberT, reading your comment makes me think both you and Marc want the mouse pointer centered...?) – Arjan – 2010-01-27T10:43:35.263
@Arjan van Bentem: Thanks for the workaround, I didn't know about this. @AlberT: I'm also not sure to understand your comment correctly. Do you agree to start the mouse in the center would be good or not? – Marc – 2010-01-28T07:40:08.403
Aren't you talking about the fast user switching login? Clicking that icon in the menu bar would explain why your mouse cursor is in the top-right corner. When you want a menu shortcut to invoke that login screen then see http://superuser.com/questions/45740/fast-user-switching-apple-menu/46308#46308
