            Bug ID: 327674
           Summary: mouse acceleration profile bug
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

KDE desktop starts with 
"Device Accel Profile (253):    0"
for my mouse despite Accel profile set to 2 in xorg.conf

I tried discussing for a solution on kde at mail.kde.org (including looking at KDE
settings of 'Common appearance and
Behaviour/Customshortcuts/global_keybshortcuts'  'Kwin' disabling any shortcut
bindings to 'Move mouse to center' and 'Move mouse to focus')

xinput --list-props <device> is the tool I use to list and change the accel
profile from 0 to 2
(xinput --set-prop <device> 'Device Accel Profile' 2)

When set to 2, immediately the following symptom occurs.

Symptom: Every 5 seconds the mouse cursor jumps to an edge of a screen (if I
move the mouse 1 pixel up, it jumps to the edge of the top screen directly up. 
If diagonal, it goes to corner, etc..)

Immediately setting the accel profile back to 0, this symptom doesn't recurr..

Shouldn't KDE inherit xorg's mouse accel profile? KDE changes it from
somewhere..

fwiw, the acceleration profile for '2' means polynomial.. there's 7 of them, 

the one I have selected is one of the modern ones (it works with the GNOME
login, so I don't see why it shouldn't work with KDE.. my mouse works best with
this acceleration profile)

Thanks..
