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. -Michele
