This is caused by xserver-xorg-input-all pulling -libinput instead of -evdev. Too bad -evdev is in universe now, and reverting the change in zesty probably wouldn't help much because -libinput would not get uninstalled on upgrade.
Guess the only way to fix this properly would be to add code to unity- settings-daemon to support -libinput. ** Package changed: xinput (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1682193 Title: Mouse acceleration significantly reduced after upgrade to 17.04 Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My external Logitech USB mouse was behaving nicely under 16.10 but after upgrade to 17.04 it has slowed down to a crawl.
