Hi, I'm using DSL as a LiveCD, and I'm looking for a way to change the mouse sensitivity, and I can't seem to find a way to change it, I'm using Fluxbox, is this part of the issue?

Thanks in advance.

Code Sample
xset m <acceleration> <threshold>

man xset
Quote
The m option controls the mouse  parameters.   The parameters  for  the  mouse are `acceleration' and `threshold'. The acceleration can be specified as an  integer,  or as a simple fraction.  The mouse, or whatever pointer the machine is connected  to, will go `acceleration' times as fast when it trav­els more than `threshold' pixels in a short  time. This way, the mouse can be used for precise align­ment when it is moved slowly, yet it can be set to travel  across  the screen in a flick of the wrist when desired.  One or both parameters  for  the  m option  can  be omitted, but if only one is given, it will be interpreted as the acceleration.  If no parameters or the flag 'default' is used, the sys­tem defaults will be set.
