[SOLVED] Xorg error when adjusting mouse's sensitivity with xinput

Hello,
When I try to change my mouse's sensitivity via xinput, I get this message:

quentin@QuentinDesktop ~> xinput set-prop 9 298 -0.75
X Error of failed request:  BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
  Major opcode of failed request:  131 (XInputExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  57 ()
  Serial number of failed request:  20
  Current serial number in output stream:  21

This is my devices list:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech G Pro                          	id=9	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS RGB Mouse     	id=14	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS RGB Consumer Control	id=16	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]

    ↳ Power Button                            	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]

    ↳ Logitech PRO                            	id=11	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS RGB           	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS RGB           	id=13	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS RGB System Control	id=15	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS RGB Keyboard  	id=17	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Eee PC WMI hotkeys                      	id=18	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Logitech G Pro                          	id=19	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Kingston HyperX Alloy FPS RGB Consumer Control	id=20	[slave  keyboard (3)]

With a quick search on internet I found that some people resolved this by just adding QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 on /etc/environment, but it doesn't work on my case.

How can I fix it ?

Okay, I'm sorry for this topic, I just noticed that the "Accel Speed" property switched from id 298 to id 299 for an unknown reason, so I wasn't setting the right property.

The numerical values should not be expected to remain stable.  Use names not ids.
