Thanks a lot, worked out perfectly!

Thanks, fsmithred! At least the touchpad is now OK, though I'd prefer to configure my wireless mouse...

No, you don't want to do that.

I installed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and the 'Reset to defaults' button becomes active. Except it doesn't do anything, because I still can't change it to anything but the defaults.

I then removed xserver-xorg-input-libinput and installed xserver-xorg-input-evdev, rebooted, and it now works. I can change the speed of the touchpad. I still can't change the speed of the trackpoint.

(Thinkpad T420 has a Synaptics touchpad.)

Hi,
I have found a possible work-around for this issue, but not sure how it applies to Devuan.
Te link is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1758023
the very last post (#31), but I can't find the location of xorg conf files in my ASCII, looks like it's different from Debian 10.

Maybe post #10 is of some help, but:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  task-desktop task-xfce-desktop xserver-xorg-input-all
  xserver-xorg-input-libinput

and I am not sure if I want to do that.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hi,
I have a problem with mouse and touchpad settings: they both work, but both sensitivity and acceleration are locked. I can set any position on the bar, but nothing changes and the button "Restore to defaults" is greyed out. On the other hand, switching left/right-hand mouse works just fine. It looks like some settings can't be accessed using XFCE Settings GUI...
Would be grateful for any help.
Devuan ASCII 64bit.
Thank you.
