Comment 3 for bug 1758023

I'm using openbox, Ubuntu 18.04

Changing the mouse settings in gnome-control-center does nothing in a openbox session. I've tried starting up all the gnome-settings-daemon things but it still didn't work.

Changing the mouse settings in unity-control-center does nothing in a unity session.

Changing the mouse settings in gnome-control-center works in a gnome session.

I can't do anything with xinput in both openbox and gnome sessions, the error...

BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)

xinput used to work fine in Ubuntu 16.04. I've tried using both name and number methods with xinput, neither works.

Nothing happens with "xset m" as reported in the other bug(1729762). "xset r" for the keyboard works.

It looks like outside of a gnome-session, you can't change the mouse speed anymore.
