Let's do a test. Open Terminal and type:

Code: Select all

xinput list
You will get something like this:

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse id=8 [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)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]

Now you know the id of the mouse (8 in the example above). Replace my id number (8) with yours. Next:

Code: Select all

xinput -list-props 8
What does the output look like at your side?
All my computers are in Mint condition.
