The problem with this is that it gives you about a 72 DPI mouse.

The NeXT mouse returns a nice high resolution (I assume) data rate, which
goes into a divider to bring it down to about 72DPI; this then gets multiplied
as specified in Mouse Scaling.

But if you want a uniform high rate, you're out of luck.

What do I base this on? The observation that I can move the mouse a noticable
amount, and even feel the wheels turn, and the mouse pointer does not move
a pixel. Plus that when I do set "1 1 1", I get about one inch is 70 dots.
Since this is so close to the 72 figure, I'm assuming experimental error. And
no one makes mice that slow.
