Disabling Mouse acceleration via flat profile does not apply

Hi,

i have disabled my mouse acceleration a while ago because i like to play FPS games like CSGO without any acceleration.

Today i have noticed that the acceleration might still be on. xinput --list-props 11 tells me this (11 is my Zowie FK1 mouse): 

$ xinput --list-props 11
Device 'Kingsis Peripherals ZOWIE Gaming mouse':
	Device Enabled (152):	1
	Coordinate Transformation Matrix (154):	1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000
	libinput Accel Speed (289):	-0.897059
	libinput Accel Speed Default (290):	0.000000
	libinput Accel Profiles Available (291):	1, 1
	libinput Accel Profile Enabled (292):	1, 0
	libinput Accel Profile Enabled Default (293):	1, 0
...

But Accel Profile Enabled should say 0, 1 right?

I have xf86-input-libinput installed and this file in place: 

 
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf 
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "My Mouse"
	Driver "libinput"
	MatchIsPointer "yes"
	Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
EndSection

This is a part the of the Xorg log file:

It says UnloadModule: "libinput"? Don't know if thats normal but it says it enables the Option "AccelProfile" "flat" before that.

Has anyone a clue whats going wrong?

Re: Disabling Mouse acceleration via flat profile does not apply

Ok. I figured it out.

Seems like Gnome has now an option in Gnome Tweak Tool to select the mouse profile which overrides the xorg config file. 

Didn't know about that. Found it here:  https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/c … _libinput/

Maybe it should be added to the Wiki because this is extremly confusing. You have the flat profile activated in a xorg config file, the xorg log also says it has applied it and then comes Gnome which defaults to another profile and messes with your settings...
