Description Jacopo De Simoi 2018-04-12 21:10:22 UTC 
I have a lenovo Thinkpad and I occasionally connect an external mouse when the laptop is docked. 

The acceleration profile for the Trackpoint is set to be Flat on xorg.conf
Once the mouse is plugged in, the configuration is overwritten by the kcm to be the configuration for the mouse. (accelerated) 

This /is/ a kcm bug, as this behavior /does not/ occur under a plain startx session.

I think the issue is in 

kde/workspace/plasma-desktop/kcms/input/backends/x11/x11mousebackend.cpp:258


    XI2ForallPointerDevices(m_dpy, [&] (XIDeviceInfo *info) {
        libinputApplyAccelerationProfile(info->deviceid, settings.currentAccelProfile);
    });

I can see that the same accel profile is applied to every pointer. regardless of what explicitly specified in xorg, or what the current profile is.

Confirmed by Nate. Touchpoint isn't seen as a separate device.
