I suggest you run whatever res you like and instead fiddle with the "xset" command once X11 is running. See "man xset" for info; you want the "m" argument to control the mouse acceleration. I have this: xset m 3 4 in my X11 startup, which an acceleration of 3 and a threshold of 4. That means that if you move the mouse more than 4 pixles (the threshold) quickly, the motion scale will be multiplied by 3 (the acceleration). So you can do fine positioning with small motions and big movements with larger motions. Adjust to suit your preference.
