15 You can take every option settable through xset and set it in
16 /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d . That will then make sure the options are set
17 every time X starts. You can also take the xset command and write it
18 into ~/.xinitrc if you don't have root.

20 I have a 05-mouse.conf containing:
21 Section "InputClass"
22 Identifier "Kingsis Peripherals ZOWIE Gaming mouse"
23 MatchIsPointer "on"
24 Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
25 EndSection

27 You can look for the xorg.conf variable names you need in xorg.conf(5),
28 or just google it.
