How do I disable mouse acceleration?

Post by bigrand »

I am using Linux Mint 21 XFCE.

There's an acceleration slider in 'Mouse and Touchpad,' but it's useless because if I disable it, my mouse becomes too slow, and if I enable it, it adds acceleration as well. I'd like to change my speed without turning on mouse acceleration.

I tried several things, but none of them worked.
I saw some videos (XFCE) where they had speed and acceleration sliders in 'Mouse and Touchpad,' but my doesn't.

How do I change the speed of my mouse and completely disable mouse acceleration?

For context, I already tried this:
