Disable mouse acceleration in Ubuntu 15.10
You can make it nice and simple simply by running:
xset m 00
Which will completely turn off mouse acceleration.
!#/bin/bash
xset m 00
Save the file as a .sh
script - make it executable with chmod +x filename
, add it as a startup program in the Startup Applications
program, and you're good to go!
The following (stolen from r/linux_gaming) seems to work:
sudo vim /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mouse.conf
and paste inside this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "mouse"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
EndSection
There is a GUI for this, gpointing-device-settings:
sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
This program has several features missed in the standard gnome-mouse-properties
configuration dialog, like advanced touchpad scrolling settings. If all you need is to adjust acceleration settings, use gnome-mouse-properties
instead.
If you seek for CLI way, xinput
will be to your usage.
