Unfortunately, when you use Xset, you loose resolution, and moving the
mouse some distance causes it to skip pixels in order to move faster,
rather than sending events more quickly :(  2x is tolerable though,
but doesn't really provide enough acceleration.

: 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

: it's still pretty horrible no matter what.

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