Bug Description
After upgrading to 17.04 my mouse (a plain Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse) is much slower and nothing I do changes its speed.
Tried through the settings GUI, using xset and using xinput. Nothing seems to do anything. The only thing that offers some feedback is xinput, that complaints about a value out of range:
$ xinput --set-prop 8 289 2
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 131 (XInputExtension)
Minor opcode of failed request: 57 ()
Value in failed request: 0x121
Serial number of failed request: 19
Current serial number in output stream: 20
where 8 is the device id, 289 is the "libinput Accel Speed", and 2 is the desired multiplier:
$ xinput --list --short
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 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)]
↳ Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (185b:3020) id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ LITEON Technology USB Multimedia Keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote Transceiver id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
Basically I can set that value in the range 0..1, with no effect (although it is reported correctly by xinput --list-props), or outside and getting the error. Likewise, changing values with xset shows them as changed, but the mouse is oblivious to it.
Finally, I tried in a live USB and at least via the settings GUI there's no noticeable difference between either extreme setting of the slider.
