That’s because we switched to udev/libinput by default around that time.

Could you share the output of:
- libinput list-devices
- xinput list

Then, for each mouse device shown by `xinput list', the output of `xinput list-props <device>'.

(xinput run in a xterm or similar using some utf-8 locale, e.g. LANG=en_US.UTF-8).

And just to be sure, double check which config files exist in /etc/X11 and /usr/local/etc/xorg.d.

Best,
Michael
