• Bug#1068103: Cannot disable touchpad acceleration after upgrading to GN

    From Josh Triplett@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 30 19:10:01 2024
    Package: gnome-settings-daemon
    Version: 46.0-1
    Severity: normal
    X-Debbugs-Cc: josh@joshtriplett.org

    After upgrading GNOME to 46, the touchpad seems to have some sort of acceleration enabled: it feels like it has a painfully large amount of
    inertia.

    I've tried
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad accel-profile flat
    and that doesn't seem to change anything.

    If I run
    libinput list-devices
    all three mouse devices show this:
    Accel profiles: flat *adaptive custom

    and that doesn't seem to change anything.

    Please note that 'flat' should be in single quotes.

    You could also try using the GNOME Tweaks app to disable Touchpad
    Acceleration which should do the same thing as the gsettings command
    but without needing to know the correct syntax.

    Thank you,
    Jeremy Bícha
