Ubuntu – Disable mouse move without disabling click and scroll

mousemouse scrollmouse-wheel

Is it possible to disable mouse move without disabling click and scroll? I want to make mouse pointer freeze at a point but click and scroll using wheel should work.

Best Answer

There is a xinput command that manipulates X devices, whose list can be obtained with

  xinput --list

Henceforth id=10 for the mouse assumed, that is seemingly true for modern Xorg releases.

Solution (using property names):

 xinput set-prop 10 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 65535

Return to normality:

 xinput set-prop 10 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 1

 

Solution (using property numbers):

  xinput list-props 10

Find
Device Accel Constant Deceleration (p):
in the output listing, where p is a decimal number. Now substitute it into:
 xinput set-prop 10p65535

Return to normality:

 xinput set-prop 10p1
