Issue/Bug Description: Mouse Accelaration is on by default Giphy https://giphy.com/gifs/fSpC99mtw0WRxWj0J1

**Steps to reproduce (if you know):

  1. Upgrading from 19.04**

Expected behavior: Mouse Accelaration should off be default

**Other Notes: I was able to resolve the issue by following this guide. http://www.webupd8.org/2016/08/how-to-completely-disable-mouse.html

To completely disable mouse acceleration, create a file called "50-mouse-acceleration.conf" in xorg.conf.d. The path to xorg.conf.d can vary depending on the Linux distribution you use. For instance, in Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and derivatives, it's /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/. On Arch Linux, it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

To open an empty 50-mouse-acceleration.conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with Nano (command line text editor; should be installed by default in most Linux distributions), use the following command:

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf

And in this file, paste the following:

Section "InputClass" Identifier "My Mouse" MatchIsPointer "yes" Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1" Option "AccelerationScheme" "none" Option "AccelSpeed" "-1" EndSection

Then save the file (to save the file in Nano, use Ctrl + o, then press Enter; to exit, use Ctrl + x). Note that the section just needs an identifier, but the actual name doesn't matter, so you don't have to replace "My Mouse" with anything.

Once you're done, restart the session (logout/login). That's it!

Using this, the Touchpad acceleration is left unchanged.

We do have a toggle in the mouse settings of GNOME Settings for disabling mouse acceleration. Does that work for you?

No, unfortunately it does not.

I just wanted to remind that following the guide above indeed worked.
