RE: [XFree86] poor mouse dpi from X

[Viking Skull]

I'm experiencing the same issues. My mouse seems to.. 'stick,' like, the 
on-screen cursor wont move unless I throw the mouse around. I've tried the 
mouse settings, and all this does is accellerate the cursor, its a total 
nightmare trying to position it accurately, because all that happens is the 
cursor sticks. This has given GNOME a really sluggish feel, and if anyone 
knows a fix for this then please help us!

PS. I'm running XFree86

Subject: [XFree86] poor mouse dpi from X

Hi.
I just got a new Logitech mouse which gives 800dpi.
However, I measured that im getting about 400dpi under
a recent XFree version and Debian Linux. Changing the "Resolution" to
"800" or anything more does not help - it appears using the
generic PS/2 protocol will not enable me to get more than
about 400 dpi. This was measured with xset m 0 0 enabled, no acceleration.
Using acceleration will of course speed up the mouse, but you're
skipping some pixels, and this will give a false figure.
I also tried setting the mouse in usb, but still got
about 400 dpi. The mouse drivers list given for xfree under
http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/mouse4.html doesnt seem to help.
I dont see how using any of these drivers would give me more dpi.
Here is the config file im using in my XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "Resolution"            "800"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
        Option          "Buttons"               "5"
EndSection
