I have a Lenovo Y710 laptop that is running Ubuntu 16.04, my mouse is the Logitech marathon M705. I'm running a fresh boot and have been going over basic settings. This is my first time using Linux. I don't like mouse acceleration, as there is no option in the settings to disable it I found the below solution on the internet.
I typed:
sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mouse.conf
into a terminal and ran the below code.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "mouse"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
EndSection
I restarted, mouse acceleration was off, I could change the speed of the touchpad, but I could not change the speed of my physical mouse. The slider worked and moved from slow to fast, but the mouse speed remained static at a relatively slow speed.
How do I fix this?
