I did it but still it moves to fast.
while running kextcache -a i386 -e there was some warning about ACPIPS2Nub.kext about some dependencies.

I found the source code for ApplePS2Mouse.kext and changed default _resolution from 150 to 350 dpi now it works fine.

Hmm, that sounds like ps/2 issues, try this kexts:
ACPIPS2Nub.kext
ApplePS2Controller.kext
I attached an archive containing them.
In Terminal, type:
sudo -s
password (your password)
cd /system/library/extensions
chmod -R 755 * && chown -R root:wheel *cd ..
rm -r Extensions.mkext
kextcache -a i386 -e
reboot
what's ACPIPS2Nub.kext ? PS/2 is working fine for me, only the cursor keys weren't working one time.
Hmm, just use an USB Mouse then, make it as much compatible as possible. Mighty Mouse. I love it
What mouse type do you have, optical or ball mouse?
Hello gogo... I have the same mouse as you and the same problem, my mouse is moving too fast... Problem is I don't have another one, and I'm a total noob at mac programming, so I don't have a clue on how to recompile extensions... Is there any way you could send me the extension you changed so I can use with my mouse?
