I have found something that makes it feel linear, finally.
doas wsconsctl mouse.tp.deceleration=0
With the following patch. Maybe this does the same thing as your
mouse0.param suggestion? Although I didn't touch the x/y hysteresis
values (34/35).

Could you tell us why it feels weird?
If you are really serious about a completely "linear" response, you might
want to try
$ doas wsconsctl mouse0.param=34:0,35:0,36:0
This turns off noise filtering and deceleration (very low speeds are slowed
down even further, which may be helpful if you want to hit a 1-pixel window
border, for example). What remains is the filtering performed by the firmware,
which may be decent nowadays, or not.

Hello,
I am using the wsmouse driver with x11, and no amount of googling or reading
man pages has helped me figure out how to disable acceleration and have
completely flat/linear response. Is this possible?
I know that I can change sensitivity with `mouse.tp.scaling=<whatever>`, but
I don't think this affects acceleration.
Check xset (and maybe xinput, but I;ve never used that).

Thanks. `xinput --set-prop /dev/wsmouse0 'Device Accel Profile' -1` seems to
have made things a lot better, although it still feels a bit weird. I could
just be imagining it.
Anyway, thanks for the pointers!
