The behaviour of Xorg changed after an update. Before

fine guys on freedesktop.org for breaking things depending on air pressure

OK, but this means that for some mice the controls in TDE have no effect -
correct?
I use a Benq mouse I bought in 2006 - seems a great hardware - never had
problem with acceleration described - even after latest upgrade to buster.
However I have experienced odd things with cheap mouse and stupid KVM
switch - like sticky keys - mouse not moving - strange messages about USB
in the syslog etc.
Never mind - the thing is - the function in TDE should set the acceleration
the way you do it in .xsetting, but I do not see an option to set for
specific hardware.
I would file a request to update this in future major release.
