On Fedora 25, xinput
seems to have problems recognizing properties for input devices.
According to ThinkWiki, this should work:
$ xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Device Accel Profile" 2
property 'Device Accel Profile' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
Looking at the output in Setup section below, it seems, that the properties were renamed. Unfortunately, using the new property names yields the same result:
$ xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Accel Speed" 0.75
property 'Accel Speed' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
I also tried using the device id
with --type
and --format
specified - same result.
