Try serializing your ps/2 mouse with that little adapter included when you bought it. I know, it sounds like a really dumb idea, but just try it and see how it feelds comparatively. I also have a Trackman and it seems to be much more manageable on a serial port. then you can also use xset to adjust sensitivity/acceleration. This helped me to get the same manueverability as I used to get under Windows.
