This is the exact discription of who my trackpoint works on Ubuntu now: I am unable to achieve acceptable results with all the different knobs that are available. If I tune down acceleration, I am able to do detailed pointing, but the stick is generally so slow, that it takes ages to cross the screen. On the other hand, if I increase the acceleration, even the slightest movement of the stick makes it jump significantly on the screen so that I am unable to do detailed selections.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99860 here is the thread. I'm not sure Seems like acceleration is now working corretly. How can I find more info about how this works? ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #99860 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99860 -- 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.
