I use "xset m 6 2" because I find that 6 will cross the screen with a full
wrist movement and 2 is as low as you can go and still have single pixel
control (1 means that even one pixel of movement is multiplied by 6.)
If I use a number greater than 2, I find the transition from unmultiplied to
multiplied travel jerky. The algorithm is so crude that I think the word
"acceleration" in man xset is unjustified. It would be nice to have some
sort of true acceleration effect.
