For me, I'm using a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000, and no workarounds were working. lxinput and xset both did nothing, however I did manage to get xinput to work.
I got the id of my mouse from here: $> xinput --list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=13 [slave pointer (2)] <- I picked this one ⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HD Webcam C615 id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] I picked 13, since there were multiple id's with the same name, and listed the properties: $> xinput list-props 13 Device 'Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0': Device Enabled (152): 1 Coordinate Transformation Matrix (154): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 Device Product ID (269): 1118, 1861 Device Node (270): "/dev/input/event6" Evdev Axis Inversion (285): 0, 0 Evdev Axes Swap (287): 0 Axis Labels (288): "Rel X" (162), "Rel Y" (163), "Rel Horiz Wheel" (277), "Rel Dial" (278), "Rel Vert Wheel" (279), "Rel Misc" (280) Button Labels (289): "Button Left" (155), "Button Middle" (156), "Button Right" (157), "Button Wheel Up" (158), "Button Wheel Down" (159), "Button Horiz Wheel Left" (160), "Button Horiz Wheel Right" (161), "Button Side" (275), "Button Extra" (276), "Button Unknown" (273), "Button Unknown" (273), "Button Unknown" (273), "Button Unknown" (273) Evdev Scrolling Distance (290): 1, 1, 1 Evdev Middle Button Emulation (291): 0 Evdev Middle Button Timeout (292): 50 Evdev Third Button Emulation (293): 0 Evdev Third Button Emulation Timeout (294): 1000 Evdev Third Button Emulation Button (295): 3 Evdev Third Button Emulation Threshold (296): 20 Evdev Wheel Emulation (297): 0 Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes (298): 0, 0, 4, 5 Evdev Wheel Emulation Inertia (299): 10 Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout (300): 200 Evdev Wheel Emulation Button (301): 4 Evdev Drag Lock Buttons (302): 0 Notice how there is no mention of "Mouse Acceleration" or any such thing. I suspected that "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" had something to do with it, so I tried changing the values: &> xinput --set-prop 13 "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1.300000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.300000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 It worked! I just multiplied the first 2 "1.0000000"'s by the same number (which I guess are X and Y speed) and now my mouse has a good speed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132063 Title: Mouse settings missing from Mouse & Touchpad dialog Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: On up to date Raring alpha, on System Settings > Mouse & Touchpad the Mouse settings are completely missing.
