xsetpointer changes options on the core pointer device. since 1.4, the core pointer device is just a virtual device, with all physical devices hanging off it. it is recommended that the physical devices are configured one-by-one instead (try the "xinput" tool). the problem with xsetpointer is simply that because it only knows about the core pointer, it forces the core pointer configuration onto all other devices, overwriting a per-device configuration.
