how to set the mouse speed very low on ubuntu

how to set the mouse speed very low on ubuntu

I set the mouse acceleration and sensitivity levels to minimum in System->Preferences->Mouse but with the new mouse I have, even those settings are too fast. Is there a way to further reduce the speed? The resolution of the mouse seems to be much higher than needed. Is there a way to reduce that?. The mouse is an Okano A1020 Laser Mouse. lsusb -v says the following:

"This isn't the simplest way to do it (i.e. not a GNOME or KDE preference) but you can tell the X server to use a specific mouse speed for your device. To do this you have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually and restart X (easiest way is to reboot the machine). The tricky part is identifying your mouse driver in that file. Start by looking for a section called ""InputDevice"" that matches your mouse driver. On my laptop for instance, where I'm using the mousepad, the section is called ""Configured Mouse"". You then set options as described in this thread: http://ubuntuforumsdotorg/showthread.php?t=227562. The device in question is a laptop mousepad, and you will have to play with the numbers, but some variation of it should work.

Option ""MinSpeed"" ""0.45""
Option ""MaxSpeed"" ""0.75""
Option ""AccelFactor"" ""0.020"""
