Xorg mouse acceleration config

[ekulz]

Hey,

I've been applying an xinput command that runs on startup to adjust my mouse accel settings on boot. I also stored the script as an alias so I can reapply whenever I remove and reconnect the mouse.

Code: Select all

xinput --set-prop "Kingsis Peripherals ZOWIE Gaming mouse" "libinput Accel Speed" -0.8

I am trying to switch to an xorg config so I don't have to run the above command each time I remove and reconnect the mouse.

My conf file seems to be read and applied, but then somehow gets reset. Does anyone know what's going on here? It looks like something strange is going on where the InputClass is being applied successfully, then tries again and fails, resetting the settings back to default.

I've tried the conf file in two locations (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d) thinking it was an ordering thing, but had the same result.

Config (90-zowie-mouse.conf):

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "Kingsis Peripherals ZOWIE Gaming mouse"
	MatchProduct "ZOWIE"
	Driver "libinput"
	Option "AccelSpeed" "-0.8"
EndSection
