            Bug ID: 100982
           Summary: Ship the POINTINGSTICK_CONST_ACCEL hwdb instead of
                    systemd
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: peter.hutterer at who-t.net
                CC: jwrdegoede at fedoraproject.org

This property is a generic constant acceleration factor to be applied to the
trackpoint's movement. The original idea was that this could be a generic value
that can be used by other input stacks.

Realistically, the only way to *measure* the value is to check with something
that moves the pointer on the screen, and that something is libinput. So now
measuring the const accel depends on libinput's pointer acceleration mechanism,
but that changes behaviour based on the value of const accel.

So shipping this in systemd is not good, we need to ship this in libinput
instead.
