Ubuntu – How to increase the mouse scroll speed in GNOME 3

14.04gnomemousemouse scroll

How can I increase the mouse scroll speed in GNOME 3 and ensure that it works after a restart as well?

Currently getting about 3 lines per scroll, I'd like to increase that.

I've tried following a few guides, but they don't work with 14.04

TIA!

You could try imwheel, but there seems to be no further development.

Install it with

sudo apt-get install imwheel

Create a configuration with

nano ~/.imwheelrc

and fill in the following

".*"
None,      Up,   Button4, 100
None,      Down, Button5, 100
Control_L, Up,   Control_L|Button4
Control_L, Down, Control_L|Button5
Shift_L,   Up,   Shift_L|Button4
Shift_L,   Down, Shift_L|Button5

You control the speed with these two lines:

None,      Up,   Button4, 100
None,      Down, Button5, 100

You can use values between 0 (slow) and 100 (fast).
