Xinput error while trying to change mouse sensitivity after installing proprietary nvidia drivers

Support Xfce

Running the command

xinput set-prop 8 154 3 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 1

returns with the error code

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  131 (XInputExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  57 ()
  Value in failed request:  0x9a
  Serial number of failed request:  20
  Current serial number in output stream:  21

Everything was working fine until I used mhwd to install the nvidia prorietary drivers. I’ve searched far and wide and have no idea how to deal with this issue. Please ask if there’s any more information you might need to help with this. Thank you!

Switched back to nouveau and everything works fine now. Will stick to this until I find a solution.

Still haven’t figured out a solution for this. Anyone?

There is next to no information to go on.
And what you did with xinput is not a permanent change.

So: your actual problem seems to be with the nvidia driver.
There are many posts here about the subject.

Gather some info and (possibly, if you can’t find a solution) describe the actual problem and give your post a more fitting title? :man_shrugging:

Apart from that, some of these might help:
