I've found this link about how to change mouse acceleration:

xinput --set-prop 14 293 1

This works for me. I've tried putting this to my openbox's autostart script, but after some time my mouse ID(and the property ID) changed, and it doesn't work anymore. I don't want to fix the wrong problem - so please, tell me: is there a way to make this change permanent?

Use a name instead of a numerical ID. Run xinput list to see the available devices and xinput list-props to see a device's properties. See Make mouse movements scroll when the middle button is held down for examples.

Alternatively, if this is your personal machine, you can set this up system-wide by adding a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Again, see Make mouse movements scroll when the middle button is held down for an example. The Identifier clause identifies the stanza in the configuration file, it's the MatchProduct clause that identifies the device.
