--- Comment #2 from Simon Thum <simon.thum at gmx.de> ---
A bit late now, but to clarify, -1 is "none" i.e. no dynamic acceleration or
deceleration.

The man page should be used as the authorative source. The wiki page is
slightly involved, it's mainly for devs.

I suspect the profile is not changed at all, or it is being overridden. KDE
never used to chnage the profile, it only cares about the "feedback" settings
you can change using xset. That's not fortunate, but anyway.

About the bug, this is probably "to be expected". The aforementioned feedback
is kept while changing profiles, and profiles build on the feedback for
parametertization. To avoid that, always change profiles together with feedback
that is safe for the profile. E.g.

xinput set-ptr-feedback <device name> <threshold> <num> <denom>
xinput set-prop <device> "Device Accel Profile" <profile_number>
