+Subject: [PATCH libinput] filter: require minimum acceleration factor of 0.3
+
+For really slow motions, the previous acceleration factor would go down to
+effectively zero. So the slower the mouse motion was, the more it would be
+slowed down which made the mouse at low speeds almost unusable.
+
+Cap the minimum acceleration at 0.3 which provides a predictable slow motion
+for the cursor when high precision is required.
+
+New/old acceleration functions comparison:
+
+  ^
+  |               /
+  |              /
+ty|    _________/
+  |   / /
+  |  / /
+  | / /
+  |/ /    <----- new minimum accel factor
+  | /
+  |/___________________>
+      tx
+
+i.e. the general shape is maintained, but it doesn't go to zero anymore. The
+functions aren't parallel, the new shape is slightly flatter than the previous
+one and they meet at the point where the functions flatten for the threshold
+(tx/ty). ascii art has its limits...
