Mouse pointer acceleration

It seems that while the sensitivity slider does work, on the full left position my mouse is super slow, all the way to the right position and it's unbearably fast, somewhere in the middle seems about right *except* that there seems to be some strange mouse pointer acceleration going on.

I can find a position that makes it comfortable to use the mouse and it makes it feel more like it does in windows but the more that I move the mouse the faster it starts to move, it's like turning up the pointer acceleration options in the mouse control panel for Windows. So I start to move the mouse and it's okay, but then all of a sudden it starts moving much faster which of course makes it very imprecise.
In response to the above post, we are doing a poll on mouse pointer acceleration.

Yes, please disable it, or at least make it optional. I find mouse pointer accelleration the most annoying mouse feature there is, and it's the first thing I disable on computers that have it enabled.
A computer cannot decide what you want to point your mouse at unless it can read your mind. Since we are not inside the Matrix (or are we?) the computer will never know what your intent is.

Awesome to hear, it should be a whole lot easier to control my mouse from flying off to the edge of the screen with the pointer acceleration disabled while you have now added the mouse sensitivity slider to the game. Kudos to you all at Enlight.
