Mouse pointer seems to be slow when i move the mouse around

Greetings,

i have a mouse on my Desktop but it seems to be slow by a few mili secs as i can see when when i move my mouse, the cursor does not move instantly, instead there seems to be a pause, then the pointer moves which result in the pointer does not move smoothly.

This is the configuration of my mouse in xorg.conf

Code:

Identifier  "Mouse1"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option	    "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
# The mouse device.  The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/psaux"
	Option "Buttons"         "5"
    	Option "ZAxisMapping"    "4 5"
    	Option "CorePointer"
    	Option "SendCoreEvents"  "true"
#   	Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"

How can i adjust the sensitivity of the mouse or the speed?

Thanks

In all likelihood what you're experiencing isn't related to the mouse itself, but video. Make sure you're using the correct video driver for your video card (or on-board video).

You can tinker with mouse acceleration with xset, I've used xset m 5 1 in the past with good results and xset m default resets back to defaults. The numbers are multiplier (can be fractional) and how many pixels to move before starting acceleration (1 is always same speed, which is what most people want.)
