Just tried this, restarted Finder, didn't work. I hate not even having the option to disable this... so many wasted posts on everyone's opinion rather than finding a way to disable it.

EDIT: Worked after logging out/logging back in!

You have to log out and back in for it to work.

I found an easy way to disable the "Wiggle feature" -- install SMOOTHMOUSE (Freeware) -- and the shaking gesture is gone .. Works for me with Public Beta 10.11 - 15A243d !!!

Gr8 find!
Methinks many are happy with this.

Great find! You can actually make that defaults write command more simple:

defaults write -globalDomain CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification -bool TRUE

And you can even use -g in place of -globalDomain though I prefer the latter because it's more explanatory.
