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.
