I don't know... should we hard-code any dependency between the mouse driver
and the gfx mode ? Currently, both mouse speed and acceleration don't depend
upon the gfx mode. It's the same thing in SVGAlib 1.4.3 for example.

Woooh ! What a pretty rule of thumb :-)

The two thresholds scheme is borrowed from the built-in Windows NT mouse
driver (supposedly it's the same story under other Windows). It likely makes
acceleration smoother.
However SVGAlib for example uses only one threshold...
