XFree86 is the same. I think it's the mouse port or driver.

Same problem, the PS/2 mouse port seems almost unusable because of
this. It affects the text console as well as 'X'. 
While you can up the sensitivity and acceleration if you use gpm 
(and read the docs on gpm -R and use /dev/gpmdata as the mouse prot under X) 
it's still pretty horrible no matter what.

If there's a real fix for this I'd like to know as well.
