I use "xset m 6 2" because I find that 6 will cross the screen with a full
wrist movement and 2 is as low as you can go and still have single pixel 
control (1 means that even one pixel of movement is multiplied by 6.) 

If I use a number greater than 2, I find the transition from unmultiplied to 
multiplied travel jerky. The algorithm is so crude that I think the word 
"acceleration" in man xset is unjustified. It would be nice to have some 
sort of true acceleration effect.
