Hmm.  I didn't spot that.  Thanks for reminding me to look for those.

Looks like between what I spotted, tho, and that, you have it working 
now.  =:^)  Thanks for the fix report.

I had set some special settings for the keyboard on my desktop, but I 
hadn't tried anything for the mouse, at least not with evdev.  On my 
netbook I have the syntouch driver loaded, and I had done some *.fdi 
editing for it, but that's not evdev mice.  I had thought about trying to 
create an fdi file to set separate accel for a usb mouse plugged into the 
netbook, but hadn't actually tried it yet.  So now you've confirmed that 
it should work with separate settings for each mouse device, giving me 
that info to use if I decide to try it here.

So the help went both ways, and I can thank you too. =:^)
