Hi,

dexconf's purpose is to create a minimal working config, not tweak every
possible driver option.  There are other utilities to do that, or the
config file can be edited by hand.  I don't think the mouse resolution
parameter falls under the scope of dexconf, so I'm closing this bug.

Cheers,
Julien
