Very well then - please explain clearly what you mean by "mouse acceleration"; this is not normally something the X server does, but rather an interpretation by the window manager.
And therefore a simple setting in the WM config.

Have you thoroughly checked and read the X config file ?

hard to explain, im sure someone else will know how to.

i have read over the x conf, but as i am new, i dont really know what alot of it does.
