Please allow disabling of mouse acceleration for linear touchpad movement

Project Member Reported by jacksoncannon@google.com, Jan 12 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 8872.73.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.103 Safari/537.36
Platform: 8872.73.0 (Official Build) stable-channel lulu

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Move mouse 1 inch right slowly
2. Move mouse back 1 inch left quickly
3. Notice that pointer is of the left edge of the screen

What is the expected behavior?
Many users are used to linear pointer response, so it should be a setting.

What went wrong?
I am used to using Windows/linux computers with mouse acceleration disabled, and pointing with the touchpad is really hard for me on chromebooks. Please note that mouse acceleration is not the same thing as "touchpad speed".

Apparently this feature was deprecated: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chromebook-central/p8bFHyKxUpk

For reference, this is how Windows does it: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1953585/completely-turn-mouse-acceleration-windows.html

Did this work before? Yes Not sure but it used to work with crosh command "xset m 0"

I can reproduce this behavior by moving the mouse 1 inch right slowly and then moving the mouse back 1 inch left quickly. I see that the cursor has traveled different distances depending on the speed I am moving my finger. 

I am marking this bug as available.
