It actually wouldn't be too hard to do mouse acceleration
outside of X. Just build it into gpm, and have X read fake
pre-accelerated mouse data out of gpm's repeater fifo.

Putting it directly into the mouse driver isn't that hard
either. However, it will be a bit harder to add run-time
adjustment of the acceleration parameters, because XInput
doesn't do well at communicating arbitrary information
between clients and XI drivers.

Since I've been digging through XInput in my spare time
lately, I'll look into updating accel support. Meanwhile,
it wouldn't hurt to add accel support to gpm.
