xinput settings reset in just few seconds

Question

I want to make my touchpad natural scroll, so I reversed prop of "Synaptics Scrolling Distance" by add '-'. Like this.

xinput set-prop 11 275 -112 -112

It works, but in few seconds, the settings reset. What should I do?

I have the same issue with a physical mouse. The mouse cursor hangs briefly and then the xinput settings are reset.Ubuntu 15.04 (Mate, in my case). — adamnfish, Mar 01 '16 at 10:37

I had something similar. In my case the problem was the mouse disconnecting every few minutes, resetting the configuration. I fixed it by setting up a udev rule by following this answer: Changes with xinput randomly revert back to default

My problem seems to be the same, and I think it's actually due to the mouse wire being half-broken. Knowing this cause may help a lot. I kept thinking it's software problem LOL
