	Okay I tried both solution but neither worked.  Few more detail
I for got to include, it's a Logitech optical mouse and I am primarily
concerned with the mouse speed in KDE.  Just as a note to make sure I
didn't do anything wrong, I changed the file /etc/X11/XF86Config but
just by un ticking the line the read <Option "Resolution" "256"> and
changed the number to "300".  That made no noticeable change.  Next I
used the command <moused -r 300 -p /dev/sysmouse> also I did it with
"high" instead of "300" both time no noticeable difference.
