Comment 1 for bug 1729762

Some additional info:

Mouse adjustment happens to work fine on normal Ubuntu and Ubuntu-Mate 17.10. This seems to be specific to Xubuntu.

The xset command also has no effect (eg `xset m 10 1`)

My `xinput --list`:

 xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v1.0 id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v1.0 id=13 [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)]
    ↳ BTC USB Multimedia Keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ BTC USB Multimedia Keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v1.0 id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Eee PC WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v1.0 id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]

And `xinput list-props` on 12 and 13:

 accelNum is 10
 accelDenom is 1

#Note: the 10 and 1 is from my `xset m 10 1` attempt above. This should have made the mouse very fast but nothing changed.

$ xinput --set-prop 11 "libinput Accel Speed" 0.1

#Note: above had no effect however `xinput list-props` shows the adjustment was applied.
