I updated the whole X and I'm having a lot of problems :(. I also tried to
compile 1.1.1 but it fails due to ABI changes.

That man page doesn't say anything about xorg.conf options. Anyway, I tried
sensitivity 5 and "xset m 1/10 1": it behaves exactly like I wrote above.
Sensitivity 0.5 and "xset m 1 1" halves mouse speed without drawbacks.
