This could be a resolution problem. You can set the resolution
of your pointing device with the 'Option  "Resolution"    "N" '
directive in the XF86Config file (don't know whether this is true
for older versions of X). "N" should be in 'counts per inch'.
You can find more about Pointer related settings at:
