Unhappy Labtec optical mouse configuration


I recently switched from a regular Logitech scroll mouse to a Labtec optical mouse (PS/2). No complaints, really, except in the amount of *physical* desktop that seems to be required to move across my *virtual* or screen desktop. The speed of the mouse pointer is adequate, but I feel as if I'm having to pick up the mouse and put it back down again in order to avoid running out of actual space to move the mouse. This was not a problem with the Logitech scroll mouse before.

I poked through the KDE control center, as well as my X86config, and nothing seemed to be obvious in configuring this mouse behaviour. I'd appreciate any suggestions or feedback. Thanks!

Just in case:

Slackware 9.0
KDE 3.1.3
Labtec Optical mouse - model #M-BR91

Do you still need help?

This is your only post. Your Q was well phrased, don't know why no one responded. Hope you got your answer elsewhere. Sorry you didn't stick w/ LQ.
