I would like to disable mouse acceleration. I don't like it when the same physical distance traveled by the mouse results in different screen distance depending on how quickly you move the mouse.
Also, I would like to adjust cursor speed to my liking.
The problem is that Kubuntu doesn't seem to allow either:
Mouse acceleration cannot be set to 0
and there's not an option for mouse speed/sensitivity.
So, the questions are:
- How do I disable mouse acceleration completely?
- How do I adjust mouse speed?

How to adjust mouse speed in KDE- without enabling mouse acceleration
- and only using the settings dialog (no console, no config files)
This is a colloquial summary of exhuma's answer, don't forget to upvote it.
In KDE, mouse acceleration is not logarithmic. That is, it has two constant mouse speeds: non-accelerated and accelerated. It switches from one to another when you jerk the mouse quickly enough.
The first speed is non-configurable (at least, from GUI). The second speed is configurable.
The solution is:
You will end up with a constant, non-dynamic cursor speed adjusted to your liking.
