First thing, I would reopen this bug report (remove the WONTFIX) - it
really doesn't matter if it's not clear yet where to implement this.
On the topic at where to implement this:
Conceptually, mouse scroll wheel acceleration is really the same thing
as mouse cursor movement acceleration. That's

I am surprised how much ignorant one can get. When I saw won't fix I see
why linux wont making any progress. Now I see why there are so much
forks on Linux no one can stand this much ignorance.
Let me correct one thing here:

As there are no objections against reopening this (actually no response
at all), I'm reopening now.

Alright. It is a bit sad though that apparently no developer seems to be
interested in making Linux competitive with the two other big operating
systems in this case.

i guess the only update is a WONTFIX, given that this has been
languishing for 6 years now. input stuff like this is moving to libinput
anyway, and I don't think I'll implement mouse wheel acceleration there
either.

So if handling this in libinput causes problems, maybe there is a different
central place where to implement it.
How do Windows or MacOS handle this, as it is probably working without issues
there?

it's a thin line between adding these features for legacy applications
and screwing things up for new applications that

To explain my understanding of acceleration:
The mouse wheel has a certain amount of lines that are scrolled with
each scroll. This is often called "scroll speed"
An acceleration would increase/decrease the scroll speed dynamically
based on how often the wheel scrolls in a certain amount of

I am interested in doing a libinput-based wheel acceleration.
Peter: are you opposed to libinput mouse wheel acceleration in general,
or are you open to patches there? I think it could fit in cleanly.

Note that this is not only KDE. The first place where this needs to be
implemented is the Xorg server. I have done that already with my patch.
Without that or another similar implementation in Xorg, this cannot
