I love BlackBox; its awesome... but is there a way to speed up the mouse? I can't stand a low-sensitivity mouse. I haven't used BB that much, so I don't know much about it ;)

x set m # (#=0,1,2...)will set the mouse acceleration independently of the wm you're using. Check the value that works best for you and then put the line to your .xinitrc for instace.

This may be XFree 4.0.x specific, but if you add the line:
Option "Resolution" "1600"
to the mouse section of your XF86Config file, it speeds things up nicely.

Hmmm... where do I find .xinitrc? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find it.

It doesn't necessarily have to exist. Just create one with only the set blah line in your home directory.
Moondogs sugestion of course also works for X 3.3.x. The line to add in the Pointer section is Resolution value

Blah... neither seem to be working :\
Maybe I've typed it in wrong...
In XF86Config, I added to the pointer section:
Resolution 1600
And I made the .xinitrc files as:
x set m 4
I think I just typed it wrong :B

yes. and they didn't explain it enough.
in your home directory. create a .xinitrc file (assuming you don't use somthing like kdm, gdm, wdm, xdm...., then i think it's the .Xsession file? maybe? i dunno)
mine looks like this
xset m 3 &
gkrellm -w &
bbkeys -w &
exec blackbox
everything before your window manager needs to have an & after it to put it in the background.

Hmmm... I'm running Redhat 7, and it startx's automatically. I assume .xinitrc wouldn't be effective because of that? Or do I have to make that file in /root?
