Steve,
I had a problem of a similar nature some time back, and I ended up
finding some obscure reference to this problem on the XFree86 org site.
But it was not easy to find and I now don't have the link anymore.
But what you do is go into the XF86Config-4 file and head to the mouse
section. There you write in an "option" called "resolution". Here's
that section of the file:
_______________________________________________________________________
# **********************************************************************
# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Resolution" "50000"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
__________________________________________________________________
Notice that my "resolution" is set to 50,000. Believe it or not, that
doesn't seem to be an off the chart number, and this pointer is still
not as sensitive as I had it when I used xset. But it is OK.
You may have to experiment with some very highish numbers in order to
get the feel you are seeking.
