In "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4":

Section "InputDevice"
    Driver    "mouse"
    Option    "Resolution"    "200" # This is you mouse DPI
    Option    "Samplerate"    "200" # This is your sample rate in Hz
                              # I believe 200 is the max for USB
EndSection


Locate the above section in said file and add the two lines that I have
commented.
