I just ran across this the other day. Haven't tried it:

heres the relevant section:
I bought the Dexxa Mouse on 1/6/2001 and installed it 1/7/2001. It made my
mouse performance even worse. The Linux mouse was as bad as a notebook
computer's stick mouse or thumb pad, but without even the remedy of plugging
in a different mouse. I was preparing to post an email to LEAP explaining
that I was abandoning the Linux transition because I couldn't accomplish
anything with such a poor mouse system. But as I was penning that email, I
stumbled across a little known option to go in XF86Config-4:
Option Resolution 1600
That option goes with all the other options in your mouse pointer section. It
sped up the mouse without resorting to jerky, quirky acceleration. I deleted
my intended post, and instead wrote a long, rambling post about the fix, and
how great Linux is. I had re-learned what I'd forgotten so many times before
-- that Linux is so configurable and so powerful and comes with so many great
tools, that you can make it do anything you want.
Hope that helps
