So I see.  I was thinking that an easy way to do it (since I *barely* 
care enough to do something to fix it) would be to run a user-level 
program that tracks the cursor movement and then actively adjusts the 
cursor position every n milliseconds in order to make it appear properly 
accelerated.  It would be a sort of mouse cursor "afterburner".

This way I wouldn't have to re-compile X from the sources, and the 
program could be easily and non-invasively distributed.

BUT, I need help.  I don't know where to look to find the X API calls 
that will return the current cursor position, allow me to set the cursor 
position, and (this one would just be a bonus) let me set a callback to 
be run whenever the mouse moves.

Can anybody point me in the right direction here?  I'd love to make this 
crude solution work.

Michael
