Re: Why do xorg developers hate gamers and use that stupid mouse acceleration to anger them?

I have to run xset m 0 0 everytime i start a game that uses mouse and in between... Why does that useless/stupid mouse acceleration enable itself again and interfere? It renders having a expensive mouse pretty much worthless. FWIW, it's most likely not done by Xorg code. Instead, I'd expect
