I did a locate XF86Config and there are only two on my system - one in X11
and one in X11R6. Changes to the latter propagated to the former upon
logout/login. But they still don't stick.

<played around a bit...>

Someone suggested that the res value of 10 - or even 25 - wasn't a very good
choice. Upon a reread of an old message, that was just an _example_ of how
to put in a good value, not what a good value actually was.

I've set the res to 400 and I can get the mouse to travel across a 19" 10x12
screen in about two inches. I tried setting it to 900 and there doesn't seem
to be any difference, but I'll keep trying.

I'm good to go. Thanks all!
