If you use kde run the command 'kcmshell mouse'. This pops up a configuration dialog where you can change the values of 'Pointer acceleration' and 'Pointer threshold' to your needs. Gnome has something similar, it's 'gnome-mouse-properties'. On some wm like xfce there seems to be no command available, however they provide a mouse config dialog in their settings menu.
