how to turn off mouse acceleration in Peppermint ? [Resolved]

[Diego]

Hello
Oddly I can't find this info anywhere : how can I turn off mouse acceleration in Peppermint ? In the mouse settings I can only set the speed.
Thanks

hmmm are you talking about this:

Yes. I can set values (which has no effect at all by the way) but not disable it. Searching I see that in some other Linux you can choose a "flat" profile to disable it, but I do not find such a setting.
Mine has even less options than your screenshot, maybe because I use Peppermint Classic, I don't know.

Hi Diego,

Classic is a hybrid of LXDE and other components, being a community homage build to PCNetSpec.

I haven't used LXDE in several years, your answer maybe found with these two links.

Thanks. In case someone else has the same problem, here is what worked for me :

create a config file

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf

put this inside :

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "My Mouse"
    Driver "libinput"
    MatchIsPointer "yes"
    Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
EndSection

and log off.
