I think that you are talking about mouse *resolution* and AFAIK, it is 
an X11 issue.

However, it appears that KDE can configure this because there is a way 
to set this in the Control Center.  This would suggest that you could 
use DCOP to do it.

However, the Control Center module does NOT change the resolution 
which governs how much the pointer moves on the screen when you move 
the mouse a fixed distance.

So AFAIK, you need to change this with X11/XFree86.

Sorry that I can't be more help.
