xinput settings not persistent

[Stefan Witzel]

When I set some mouse/touchpad settings and log off/on (or reboot) the settings are lost.

As a workaround I tried putting the corresponding xinput lines in .xsessionrc (as suggested somewhere) but that does not help either.

I am not sure who exactly would be responsible for saving the settings so in case: I'm using xfce.

[This is offtopic but I would have loved to report this using ubuntu-bug but this crashes itself every time it starts -- which is often.]

My versions are:
Ubuntu 14.04
xserver-xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8
xfce 4.10.1

I have the same problem with xinput. I resolved it temporarily with a script, but it isn't such a great solution.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
