Okay, this bug should be closed. It's not even relevant anymore. But the new control center is still missing the option to set the acceleration properly. (There is none.)
$ xset m 0 0 will fix this. I have found a way to make this auto-start each boot: 1) Open up a terminal and type: #!/bin/bash xset m 0 0 Save the file in your home folder as “mouse.sh” or anything. Just make it end with “.sh”. 2) Let’s make this file executable. chmod +x ~/mouse.sh 3) Let’s make Ubuntu run it automatically at each boot! Open up the application called “Startup Applications”, and add a new one. Name: whatever you want. Command: ~/mouse.sh ( Source that I found through Google: http://blog.repa.info/2013/06/14 /how-to-disable-mouse-acceleration-in-ubuntu-or-any-other-linux/ ) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28052 Title: Improve mouse sensitivity and acceleration settings Status in GNOME Control Center: Confirmed Status in X.Org X server: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In the mouse preferences dialog, I can adjust the "acceleration" just fine, but the "sensitivity" has no effet whatsoever. Whether I set it all to minimum or maximum, doesn't make teh slightest difference. I use a generic PS/2 mouse.
