GNOME smooth scrolling has turned on after an update how to turn off.

So, some context. I have had this issue for a while now, since early July, I reckon. I was not able to solve it since then. I first thought it was the mouse I had, a G502 from logitech (I even was to contact amazon and requtest a replacement), but I was mistaken. I did, though, have a speculation that it could be because of the software of my PC (because the bios did not have the issue).

 

Today I lauched Windows for the first time in 11 months to load an old save I had there for a game, and I was amazed to see that the issue was not due to the mouse functioning badly, which honstly is a godsend.

That got me excited and I started thinking what could be the issue, well, I went to the Ubuntu Hideout (the Discord Server on the tech-talk channel), I asked some questions, but apparently their solution was outdated as the gnome-tweaks program did not have the option to disable it anymore. I have searched for an option on the dconf-editor to find nothing. So, I thought it was because of GNOME, but then for some reason I chose to log out and use Wayland (I cannot use this regularly because I have an nvidia GPU). Wayland fixes it, so the problem lies in Xorg, or that is what I think it lies in.

 

Please help this has, honestly, not been a fun experience.

 

Feel free to ask questions, I will make sure to answer as soon as possible.

 

Thanks for reading.

So, it has been a few days since I have started tinkering with this stuff, but I have failed to find a solution. I have however understood that the problem is due to the kernel adding "support" for high resolution scrolling on Logitech devices. Then I came across this (by Huskiness3641) on the Arch Linux forums https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2091247#p2091247. 

 

This is the comment:

 

Woohoo! That works! I don't think I need anything in the module, so for now this will work until hopefully it is fixed.

1. Open up the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file.

2. Add the following line to the file:

blacklist hid_logitech_hidpp

3. Save the file and exit the text editor. Reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

4. Connect your mouse to be wired, then unplug. And now it works! (No idea why but oh well!)

Thanks for the help .

 

I hope this helps. Honestly I am waiting for an update for them to implement a fix.
