A way to get an improvement in the behaviour of the XFree86 mouse
is to lower the Sample Rate.

E.g. it could be lowered to 20 Hz. That lets the decelerationg algorithm
(which ignores the (duration) spacing of the data) to get better results.

(Note that the Hz figure is rounded (e.g. to 20Hz, 40Hz, etc.. It
varies with the mouse somewhat).)

But, a higher priority thread might mainly only stop jumping of the
pointer if the CPU is loaded.

I use the text console mouse (in FreeBSD). It would be nice if the
mouse ran better in XFree86.

I have a Microsoft Serial Port compatible mouse, part no. 58264.
