lomoco--help, my wrist is killing me

In Windows, I use my Logitech MX510 at 1600DPI, no acceleration. Less than an inch gets me from one side of the screen to another.

In X, it's over 3 inches. It takes less than 10 minutes before my wrist begins hurting--this will not do.

The resolution option in X did not have any effect. Acceleration makes the cursor impossible to control. I found an application, lomoco, which should be able to change the settings. However, I can't seem to get it to do anything. FI:

lomoco -d c01 --1600

No errors, just...nothing. However, the docs are sparse (I can't even Google a single example of actual use, with -s, -i, then the settings), and there's always a chance something's wrong in my use of it (I hope so!). Has anyone used it before, and had any luck? If so, how?

I know, OS, but it's the place for this--GH and Peripherals would not get in folks that use other OSes as much, with any experience getting somewhat unsupported hardware working well.
 
I would suggest exercise. If moving your wrist 3 inches has that much impact on you, I would ask when the last time you saw direct sunlight was.

I thought OT was the place to nef...
 
At least that was clever 🙂.

I've moved mice with my fingers and wrist, not moving the rest of my arm, since back when I started using them (I think I was 8). Resolutions have gone from ~300px across to ~1200px across, and I move the mouse about the same physical space. I've learned to use a big mouse, but still move it only slightly. I've never been comfortable using mice when I had to move the thing around the pad a lot.

The mouse will do up to 1600 effective dpi, and I use at at least 1200 (actually measured, with tape, even though it's supposed to be 1600), and that's what I want--similar resolution in Linux w/ X as I get in Windows.
 
Will do. I've managed to blow up, last night, both my Debian and SMGL installs (why the Debian won't boot, I really am not certain). So it may be a day or so before I have X back up to try that (SMGL = everything compiled on my PC).
