Hello,
Can you tell me if there’s a way to get the exact same mouse sensitivity from Ubuntu Mate on other desktop environments like Gnome or Unity ? I don’t use the Mate Desktop on every machine, so the acceleration is really annoying. The only solution I found so far is using a custom x.org-configuration file:
Section “InputClass”
Identifier “mouse”
MatchIsPointer “on”
Option “AccelerationProfile” “-1”
Option “AccelerationScheme” “none”
EndSection
But just with disabling the mouse acceleration the cursor gets too slow. Any suggestions?
I went through way-too-sensitive-hell with a Logitech M310. After a little investigating I discovered “Sensitivity” on most the Linux mouse control applets should be called “Acceleration Threshold” because it has NOTHING TO DO WITH BASIC SENSITIVITY!
My solution has been xinput and specifically “Device Accel Constant Deceleration” setting which defaults to 1 but I like about 3 (1/3 as sensitive). It’s yet another poorly named setting since acceleration is a separate setting and I find the mouse setting GUI fine for that.
But AFAIK, Mate uses the same mouse control as most everyone else. Maybe it’s more hardware related? Are your other systems basically too uncontrolable?
