however, i've found /hardware/ mouse acceleration to be a mistake. at least some kvm eat or mangle these commands, which motiviated me to consider the issue, and i don't see a reason why the kernel shouldn't just do the acceleration (multiplication) itself. surely one multiply should be of no concern on a 100Mhz+ computer. :-) the code's in the 9atom kernel, fwiw. - erik
