[Solved] Mouse movement in Mate not working after upgrade to 1.18

The mouse stopped moving after an upgrade from mate-*-1.16.1 to 1.18.0. It works outside of Mate.

This seems to be affected by the AccelProfile option in my xorg config:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Mouse"
    MatchIsPointer "yes"
    Driver "libinput"
    Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
    Option "AccelSpeed" "0.3"
EndSection

When this line is commented out - it works.
I downgraded and froze those packages for now...

Any ideas what's happening?

Cheers!

Re: [Solved] Mouse movement in Mate not working after upgrade to 1.18

Mate seemed to override the AccelSpeed from xorg.conf with it's own value, which I probably changed to 0 at some point.

Increasing the Acceleration in mate-mouse-properties to the desired value fixed my issue...
