xubuntu 18.04 mouse sensitivity fix

If GUI mouse sensitivity settings don't work try using commands:

> xinput

 Will output:

Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                       id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver Consumer Control      id=10    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Laser Mouse                    id=15    [slave  pointer  (2)]

Remember those id's or use "Logitech USB Receiver" and "Logitech USB Laser Mouse" device names in the following commands.

> xinput list-props 'Logitech USB Laser Mouse'

We need to set 'libinput Accel Speed' property to 1.0 value for maximum speed.

> xinput set-prop 'Logitech USB Laser Mouse' 'libinput Accel Speed' 1.0

Make a bash script and add it to "Session and Startup":

#!/bin/bash
#xinput set-prop 15 298 1.0
#xinput set-prop 9 298 1.0

xinput set-prop 'Logitech USB Laser Mouse' 'libinput Accel Speed' 1.0
xinput set-prop 'Logitech USB Receiver' 'libinput Accel Speed' 1.0
