Mouse only works in GNOME

Hi!

I have this really really weird mouse behavior. It only works in GNOME. Outside GNOME, it clicks but doens't move, feels like it's ok but its speed is set to zero.

Doens't move in SDDM, tried installing lxqt to test, same behavior.

I have the NVIDIA proprietary driver installed with my GTX 980m and I created the Wiki's 50-mouse-acceleration.conf to disable acceleration and get a flat profile to my Logitech G400s, as follow:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "My Mouse"
	MatchIsPointer "yes"
	Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
	Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
	Option "AccelSpeed" "-1"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "My Mouse"
	Driver "libinput"
	MatchIsPointer "yes"
	Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
EndSection

That's all, I think.

Re: Mouse only works in GNOME

There's a good chance that you disabling your mouse-acceleration will result in that behaviour and there's another good chance that GNOME being GNOME completely ignores your setup and simply uses its own configuration which will have some value of acceleration. Also maybe post that conf in [ code ] tags

Edited with the code, thanks.

Re: Mouse only works in GNOME

Found something.

Without the second section

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "My Mouse"
	Driver "libinput"
	MatchIsPointer "yes"
	Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
EndSection

the mouse works on other desktop environments.

BUT

it gets weird in gnome, regarding accel and prediction.

I heard that GNOME 3.22 will have this option (FLAT ACCEL for libinput) in Gnome-Tweak-Tool, hopefully, everythings gonna be solved by then.
