The X11 underlying system changed some years ago. Before that, KDE3 and all other DE of that time had accurate settings for speed/acceleration. Now X11 always applies some kind of acceleration depending on your input device. Play around with xinput/xset to get a 1:1 mapping for mousespeed to cursorspeed or touchpoint elongation to cursurspeed. When that's done, the TDE settings work as they sould.
