Comment 72 for bug 1132063

For me, I'm using a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000, and no workarounds were working. lxinput and xset both did nothing, however I did manage to get xinput to work.

I got the id of my mouse from here:

$> xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=13 [slave pointer (2)] <- I picked this one
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=14 [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)]
    ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HD Webcam C615 id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Apple, Inc Apple Keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]

I picked 13, since there were multiple id's with the same name, and listed the properties:

$> xinput list-props 13
Device 'Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0':
 Device Enabled (152): 1

Notice how there is no mention of "Mouse Acceleration" or any such thing. I suspected that "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" had something to do with it, so I tried changing the values:

&> xinput --set-prop 13 "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1.300000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.300000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000

It worked! I just multiplied the first 2 "1.0000000"'s by the same number (which I guess are X and Y speed) and now my mouse has a good speed.
