xset m <acceleration> <threshold>

xset m 1 1

will do no acceleration

If you're running X 4.x+ and a 2.6 kernel, make sure you don't have two
mouse inputs active in your XF86Config file. I had this a while ago and
finally fixed it after much searching. If you have two inputs it was
probably you needed one for ps/2 and one for USB. The new input system
in 2.6 makes both ps/2 and usb look the same, so in essence your mouse
is recording two inputs for every time you move it.

Thanks for you info guys,

I had probs with my xorg file before, using a wacom tablet - it took me
a while to figure it out as well !

I will go and play with xset :-)

Cheers
