have you consulted your documentation...what desktop environment or window manager are you using? KDE should have a sensitivity setting in the peripherals section of the control center...or...Applications>Desktop Preferences>Mouse in Gnome. Of the window managers I can only speak for Fluxbox...but /me thinks you can use xset m in ~/.fluxbox/startup or /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to change your preferences of your mouse sensitivity...if I am not mistaken.

i've tried the xset option, it only sets the mouse acceleration, not sensetivity. I also use fluxbox.

I personnally play with xset option, and I have lowered my mouse sensitivity
xset m 7/10 1 is what I use.
And FYI:

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, is not read with startx by default (for an unknown reason, since there's already a open bug in bugzilla for that:startx doesnt use /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc if ~/.xinitrc exists but noone seems to care about)
If you want startx to use this file, then modify it
| change this: | if [ -f $userclientrc ]; then
defaultclientargs=$userclientrc
elif [ -f $sysclientrc ]; then
defaultclientargs=$sysclientrc
fi |
| to this: | if [ -f $sysclientrc ]; then
defaultclientargs=$sysclientrc
elif [ -f $userclientrc ]; then
defaultclientargs=$userclientrc
fi |

In Gnome (2.16.3) you have to change the sensitivity as root. I.e., open up a virtual-terminal-window as root and run 'gnome-mouse-properties' then change the sensitivity there. It should work for you then. I think that this should be considered a bug.
