XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "imps/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Resolution" "500"
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
EndSection

That should effect mouse speed/resolution.

Yeah, I know. X11 sucks. No useful "on-the-fly" device parameter
reconfiguration...
Needless to say, this is very annoying.
(e.g. virtual screen size can't be reconfigured either)
