LXDE mouse speed settings?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to configure the cursor speed of the mouse while using LXDE, if there is a GUI package I can install, or how to do manually via the command line.

I have two mice and one is great at its default speed, but the mouse I use when on the road is much slower, so I'd like to speed it up, but I don't know how.  Any help is appreciated.

Re: LXDE mouse speed settings?

Test different values in a console with xset m.
For example:
     

xset m 3 2

(The first number is the speed and the second is the threshold)
Then put in the .xinitrc the command with your best values.

Re: LXDE mouse speed settings?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but what is the proper syntax for this in the ~/.xinitrc?

I tried simply 'xset m 5 2' which had no effect upon entering X and I also appended an 'exec' to the front of that line which had no effect.

EDIT: Ah, the xset line needs to come before the exec DE line.
