I suggest you run whatever res you like and instead fiddle with the "xset"
command once X11 is running. See "man xset" for info; you want the "m"
argument to control the mouse acceleration. I have this:
xset m 3 4
in my X11 startup, which an acceleration of 3 and a threshold of 4.
That means that if you move the mouse more than 4 pixles (the threshold)
quickly, the motion scale will be multiplied by 3 (the acceleration).
So you can do fine positioning with small motions and big movements with
larger motions. Adjust to suit your preference.
