Mouse sensitivity settings keeps resetting after system reboot/suspend

I didn't have any problems with my mouse sensitivity before until I did a system upgrade last week. Usually my sensitivity only acts up when I'm on the log in screen because it's the Unity greeter. Because I have a hybrid wireless mouse the system detects it as 2 different devices, and every time my sensitivity keeps resetting. The weird thing is that the whole mouse sensitivity bar is gone on Unity.

I tried locking the xfce mouse settings config file but the only thing it would do was locking the value graphically while the sensitivity still changed.

I tried adding a few more lines after ~/.profile but since my mouse is hybrid, and I have to set the sensitivity for both and one line would not read it when I boot up my system. Whenever I unplug my mouse the sensitivity would reset.

I have tried adding a script in /X11/Xsession.d and it didn't work.

The only thing that worked was using `xinput set-prop 12 289 0, 1` command line.

On xfconf settings it shows the right sensitivity but it doesn't feel like it.

Every time the sensitivity would reset to the defaut values of 2 acceleration 4 sensitivity

Re: Mouse sensitivity settings keeps resetting after system reboot/suspend

Is this the same question? Did the reboot solved it for good?

Re: Mouse sensitivity settings keeps resetting after system reboot/suspend

Nope, the problem is still persisting when I resume a suspend because the scripts aren't working since it's not a boot. Turns out because I have some macro keys on my mouse it's detecting it as a keyboard too and applies the default settings which overrides the one from my mouse.

Xinput prints out 3 different devices for my mouse

⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]

It makes me think that there's a config file somewhere that's overriding my settings which I can't manage to find so I was wondering if it was possible to straight up change the default settings values in XInput somewhere.

Re: Mouse sensitivity settings keeps resetting after system reboot/suspend

Fix found here. It took me almost 2 weeks to fix this problem: remove xserver-xorg-input-libinput
