Since the libinput version in the ubuntu 18.04 is 1.10,  I tried to set 
LIBINPUT_ATTR_TRACKPOINT_RANGE with different values (from 25, 20, 10, 
5) in the udev hwdb database, I checked it with "udevadm info 
/dev/input/eventX" to confirm the value is set to 
LIBINPUT_ATTR_TRACKPOINT_RANGE successfully, but looks like the cursor 
speed doesn't change at all. So for ubuntu 18.04,  looks like we have to 
adjust the speed in the kernel driver.

Thanks,

Hui.
