Description André Martins 2015-07-27 22:55:57 UTC
Description of problem:
Mouse acceleration doesn't seem change if I've set a different value under
xset m 1000/100 1
or even in kde mouse settings 

Always


Additional info:

I've a hi-dpi screen (MBP 15" with a 2880x1800 resolution) my mouse is a wireless external from Logitech 705m

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2015-07-27 23:36:14 UTC
So to clarify, the issue here is that the KCM is using xset or something equivalent, which does not work with libinput. It needs to detect libinput and work with the "libinput Accel Speed" property in that case.

Comment 3 Jeff Long 2016-03-10 16:27:41 UTC
Can we get some movement on this bug?  Not having a decently working mouse really really sucks.
Comment 4 Christian Hägele 2016-06-08 17:28:05 UTC
I can confirm this problem and it is very annoying.
I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed and the bug came in within the last 10 days.

I can change the speed via 'xinput --set-prop 10 285 -0.5' as a workaround. Of course it would be better to change this setting via the GUI.

Same problem here.
Comment 8 Bernd Steinhauser 2016-07-20 20:51:42 UTC
The kcm only supports evdev.

Now that libinput (and xf86-input-libinput) or getting pretty much standard, sooner or later support for this will be implemented, I guess.
Especially since libinput is now claimed as being complete (for the moment).
See bug 361151 as well.

Acceleration works, but it can't be set below 0: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350688

Comment 11 Martin Kimmerle 2017-07-10 16:31:33 UTC
I had the same problem, I'm using KDE via Debian Stretch.
I was able to work around the problem as follows:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev
sudo ln -s /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
sudo shutdown -r now

Mouse acceleration is now working again for me. I found this solution here:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/slow-mouse-kde-gui-settings-and-xset-m-have-no-effect/27165/2

(In reply to Christian Hägele from comment #4)
> I can change the speed via 'xinput --set-prop 10 285 -0.5' as a workaround.
> Of course it would be better to change this setting via the GUI.

This worked for me as well, but the range of "libinput Accel Speed" is limited to "1.0", which is 200%. In my case this wasn't enough.
Comment 12 Yevgeny Kosarzhevsky 2017-07-23 16:25:46 UTC
Hey,

I have the same problem in systemsettings version 5.8.7.
Acceleration settings have no effect

We're definitely aware that this is a problem. For greater visibility, I'm migrating duplicates over to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383379, the more general "support Libinput" bug

Git commit 6bb8cde96083f9bee6a20bbcffba7bd67c36c78b by Roman Gilg.
Committed on 31/03/2018 at 14:45.
Pushed by romangilg into branch 'master'.

[Mouse KCM] Add X11 libinput exclusive backend and UI

Summary:
This patch splits up the current X11 backend into one for systems with
installed X libinput driver and systems with only evdev driver.

The evdev backend is used together with the old QWidget based UI. The
libinput backend is based on the KWin Wayland one and controlled by a
very similar QML based UI. One difference is that values are always
propagated to all pointer like devices and can not be set for
individual devices.

As for the evdev backend values are saved to a config file in the user
directory and reapplied on every session start.

Note that the libinput backend always takes precedence to the evdev one.
If an user wants to force the evdev backend, the X libinput driver needs
to be removed.

Depends on D11468

{F5757944}

Test Plan: Tested X session with and without libinput driver.
