I found some references to xinput, so I installed that and after some
tinkering, the following line worked to slow my mouse down to an
acceptable speed for selecting small sections of text:

xinput set-prop "Evoluent VerticalMouse 4" \
"Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 8

I can't yet get it to speed up again to cross the screen at a higher
speed, but I think I'm finally on the right track.

Thanks,
