This workaround can be used also: 1) Run command 'xinput' (without quotes) in a terminal. In the output identify ID of your mouse.
2) Run command 'xinput -list-props 12' in a terminal where 12 is an example of your mouse ID. Look for property like 'libinput Accel Speed (297): 0.000000' ... the 297 is your property ID. 3) Run command like 'xinput set-prop 12 297 -0.5' in a terminal. 12 and 297 are retrieved from previous steps. Adjust the value -0.5 by small steps to your needs. 4) Append your customised line 'xinput set-prop 12 297 -0.5' to the end of the file that is sourced after login. In the terminal run 'echo xinput set-prop 12 297 -0.5 >> ~/.profile`. 5) Do remember to remove that line once the bug is fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1682193 Title: Mouse acceleration significantly reduced after upgrade to 17.04 Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My external Logitech USB mouse was behaving nicely under 16.10 but after upgrade to 17.04 it has slowed down to a crawl.
