Description Alexander Potashev 2025-08-31 10:03:25 UTC
SUMMARY
Mouse acceleration profile changes when upgrading from X11 to Wayland.

The problem is two-fold:
 1. Switching from X11 to Wayland isn't transparent for the user: They will notice that mouse acceleration profile is different, although they didn't touch any settings.
 2. As described in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464868#c24, the current Mouse KCM doesn't provide settings to manually apply the same acceleration profile that was used in X11, at least if they were as follows in Mouse KCM on X11:
   * Pointer speed: 0.20
   * Pointer acceleration: Enabled (checkbox ticked).

What specifically changed? A setting in the KCM, or the custom acceleration profile you set on X11?
