There's one problem:You keep saying that the resolution can't be changed without editing the XF86Config file, but the XFree86-Misc extension has made it possible for years to change that setting on the fly. It's just a matter of having a client to interface to that extension and there are a few available, such as the xmseconfig program that used to be distributed with XFree86.xset does use the XFree86-Misc extension, but only for changing keyboard settings. There's no reason it couldn't be changed to do the same for the mouse.
The following option will set the mouse device resolution to N counts
per inch, if possible:
Option "Resolution" "N"
Not all mice and OSs can support this option. This option can be set
in the XF86Setup program.
Does anyone know where I can find out which mice and/or OS's don't support the resolution parameter? Does anyone know why this can't be supported universally? Even if it uses some hardware/os-specific feature, it seems like it shouldn't be too hard to emulate for the general case...
