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

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

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