If you're just using xset, you're missing out massively. Use xinput instead, it gives you full access to all of X's acceleration profiles and all the parameters you can tweak with them. http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/PointerAcceleration/ http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/PointerAccel... I cannot agree more that said xinput interface could do with a UI though. Not because I hate the commandline but because repeatedly entering long commands with numbers just kills it for me - there's no rapid feedback loop. And so I continue to avoid using my ThinkPads' Trackpoints because I can never get them to a point where they aren't a strain to use.....
