a) you probably need to disable the acceleration in whatever preferences utility 
your window manager / desktop environment provide

b) guys, there *are* cases where a hi-res mouse pretty much obviates "pointer 
acceleration" and mocking someone for wanting to turn it off is ... puerile.

In fact, what's probably needed is the ability to *decelerate* the thing when 
you want to position something accurately ... :)
