How do I increase the mouse speed in Ubuntu Linux? Running Gnome 2.30.0. I've already maxed out Pointer Speed Sensitivity in the Mouse Preferences control panel. I am not interested in increasing the Acceleration. Is there a config file I can edit to boost it past what the control panel allows?
I know that this mouse can track faster because it does in Windows.

Ok, if I remember right you can use the command
With X and Y being two different values, Acceleration and Threshold I believe. These settings change after a reboot so you would have to add them into a startup script. A quick search says that this command will give you your current value on ubuntu, but im not in a location I can try it right now.
Also if you look in your Xorg.conf file under the section for mouse you should see an option title "Resolution" increasing this number should increase your mouse speed as well.
