I for one HATED the current acceleration curve. "Brick wall" acceleration is a good description. It is nothing like older (OS 9?) acceleration curves.

I use two programs to fix the problem. MouseZoom (it only changes the overall rate, not the shape of the curve) and a feature included with SideTrack called "Redmond acceleration" or something like that. With Redmond turned on and the MouseZoom at around 2.5 I'm a pretty happy camper, but I'm extremely interested in the solution offered here, partly because SideTrack is a kext, although I don't think it has ever caused a problem.

Please, I wonder if the author could make this a little less UNIX-y? I think the potential audience for this is significant if it were posted on versiontracker.

Suggestions

Make a pretty interface so use of the terminal is unnecessary. Include a table in which the user can enter the data pairs. Even better, make a little graphical display where the user can click to set the points, with a line connecting the points.

Describe how it works in the ReadMe—does it patch running code, a plist, or what? (Does the user need to worry about crashes, for example). (Why are there two ReadMe's and the first one is blank?)

Explain if the thing continues to use cycles after the set-up program is done.
