you can mess around with the mouse using the "xset m" command. type "man xset" to get the full man page, however, the m option is to change settings for the mouse.
if you type "xset m 100 10" this will move your mouse 100 times faster after it has been moved past the treshold of 10 pixels.
have a play with it... you should be able to get something working.

i don't understand your last post...
both GNOME and KDE desktop environments run through an XWindows server which also controls the mouse and the display.
if you open a terminal and type 'xset' you should be greeted with a full list of options.
if you type the commands that i suggested in my first post into a terminal you will be able to set up the mouse sensitivity as you require.
