Changing cursor speed in dom0

User Support Hardware Issues
1

I installed Qubes OS on a desktop computer using an USB mouse and keyboard, on each boot, I have a prompt about allowing the USB mouse in dom0, not sure if it’s a bug, but mouse works once I accept.

However, the cursor speed is slightly too fast for my taste, and XFCE keyboard/mouse settings doesn’t let me change the speed.

I tried to use xinput to change the acceleration speed of each pointer device, but the property doesn’t exist.

⎡ Virtual core pointer                    id=2[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              id=4[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ sys-usb: SteelSeries Sensei Raw Gaming Mouseid=15[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ sys-usb: CHERRY Mechanical Keyboard Consumer Controlid=10[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ sys-usb: SteelSeries Sensei Raw Gaming Mouseid=12[slave  pointer  (2)]

I didn’t find anything in the forum archives about this problem.

It’s intended and can be changed in policy file:
USB qubes | Qubes OS

After a reboot, the changes done in xfce control panel have been applied.
