Just a guess but man gpm yields

[snip]

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
   Available command line options are the following:
[snip]
  -r number
  Set the responsiveness. A higher responsiveness is used
for a faster cursor motion.

does that look like what you want?

In reply to:Daniel Elenius

Quoting Daniel Elenius([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 
 Does anyone know how to change the BASIC mouse speed (not the
 acceleration) in X. The 'xset m' only changes the acceleration and
 threshold, but what I want is a faster non-accelerated mouse
 speed. I've tried 'xset m 4 1' which gives a good speed, but it makes
 the mouse 'jerky', since it moves the pointer 4 pixels at a time.
 Happy for any suggestions...

Note that it is acceleration what you are looking for:
it makes possible to have a good pointing precision
while the pointer moves faster when you want to,
that is if you move the mouse at speed 1 pixel/sec,
the pointer moves at 1 pixel/sec, too, but if you
move it at 2 pixel/sec, the pointer doesn't move,
say, at 2 pixel/sec, but at 4 pixel/sec.

Hi Daniel :

 
 How do I change the mouse speed in X?
 
Treat man xset. the option m. e.g. :

Very Fast   xset m 7 10 
Normal(Fast)xset m 3 10 
System Default  xset m default 
Glacial xset m 0 10

xset [acceleration [threshold]]

see man xset.
