Description:
After the upgrade to xorg-server 1.6.0, setting a mouse sensitivity level under 1 with xset becomes impossible. 'xset m 0 0' (default) and 'xset m 1/3 0' give the same mouse speed. But 'xset m 2 0' does indeed make the mouse twice as fast. The mouse should become slower upon applying 'xset m 1/3 0' but it does not. This bug was not present in xorg-server 1.5.3.

Additional info:
xorg-server 1.6.0-3
xorg-server-utils 7.4-4 (contains xset)

Steps to reproduce:
Observe mouse speed after applying 'xset m 0 0'. (default mouse speed)
Observe the unchanged mouse speed after applying 'xset m 1/3 0'.
This task depends upon

Does the xinput tool work to set mouse sensitivity?

Thanks to "pauldonnelly" (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=535942#p535942) I found out that you can add:

Option "ConstantDeceleration" "3"

To your mouse section in xorg.conf to give the same effect as xset m 1/3 0 did.

I can confirm that after adding

<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
<merge key="input.x11_options.ConstantDeceleration" type="string">3</merge>
</match>

to the hal policies, it works with enabled hotplugging
