Mouse Problem - SHould be easy to fix!


Well, I have a problem with the mouse and linux, or maybe linux is suppose to be like that. I really don't know. The thing is, I have a Labtec Optical Mouse. Worth about 20$ USD. In windows, it moves perfectly fine! In linux, it's not quite the same. If the mouse is stationary and i was to move it like 1 - 3 pixels, it wont even move as i slowly glide the mouse on my desk! On windows, it's the opposite. It'll move the Cursor for every mm i move the mouse. And the mouse is working perfectly because i see it light up as i slowly move it, but on the screen, the cursor wont move :S! Any suggestions? ONE MORE THING, the acceleration is kinda stupid, is there a primary speed setting. Kuz i dont want the mouse to accelerate as i move, i want it to be fast in general!

You know, if linux had more user friendlyness, every1 would switch. Obviously you'd have to know what the options do in order to use them. But having atleast a list of the possible options would be nice because i never knew you could set the Mouse Resolution. And that's what my problem was :P! I set the mouse resolution as high as my mouse supports and now it works!
