This is unfortunately correct. The login screen runs as user 'gdm' which is not privileged. That means it has no access to retrieve your personal settings until after you have entered a password. So it uses the system defaults.
You might be able to change the system defaults by editing this file as root: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.gschema.xml ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779096 Title: Mouse speed settings not used on the login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1779096/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
