You should check 'man xset', search for 'm' (mouse). For example, 'xset m 5 9' yields a medium behaviour. If you experience problems with high Resolution, you can try something like=20 % xset m 3/5 1 i.e. to choose fractional value for acceleration and 1 for threshold. However, I simply use Xfce's Mouse Preferences for the same purpose (to speed up my mouse) and it just works. Nikola Le=C4=8Di=C4=87
