Lately I have been having some problems with mouse speed inconsistency when using a KVM switch. My prefered setting for my mouse is
xset m 1If I switch over to my laptop using my KVM switch, then switch back, the mouse settings I have in xinitrc are lost. I have been using gnome-settings-daemon running with compiz but:
1. It has been crashing lately
2. It overkill and does much more than I need
3. As part of gnome I prefer not to rely on it for my non-gnome needs
I have done much googling but have not found how to change the X default mouse speed setting to equate to the 'xset m 1' command. Since this is linux, i am guessing it is not hard coded and is in a file somewhere it is just not well documented or well talked about. Does anyone know how to change the default X mouse speed settings?

I had to find out first what that xset command does exactly. The man page says it sets the acceleration (and you can specify a second value to set the threshold). Googling "xorg mouse acceleration" brings me to our wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration

That seems to have worked! Don't know how I missed that. I tried something with those same settings that failed, but that must have been for an older X server version. Thanks!
