I just ran across this the other day.  Haven't tried it:

heres the relevant section:

I bought the Dexxa Mouse on 1/6/2001 and installed it 1/7/2001. It made my 
mouse performance even worse. The Linux mouse was as bad as a notebook 
computer's stick mouse or thumb pad, but without even the remedy of plugging 
in a different mouse. I was preparing to post an email to LEAP explaining 
that I was abandoning the Linux transition because I couldn't accomplish 
anything with such a poor mouse system. But as I was penning that email, I 
stumbled across a little known option to go in XF86Config-4:

Option "Resolution" "1600"

That option goes with all the other options in your mouse pointer section. It 
sped up the mouse without resorting to jerky, quirky acceleration. I deleted 
my intended post, and instead wrote a long, rambling post about the fix, and 
how great Linux is. I had re-learned what I'd forgotten so many times before 
-- that Linux is so configurable and so powerful and comes with so many great 
tools, that you can make it do anything you want.

Hope that helps
