Permanently raise my mouse pointer speed above 100

[MJP]

I use a Lenovo laptop with a track point mouse (it's what I'm used to - I don't like touch pads.) I know how to change the speed by modifying the file sys/devices/platform/i8402/serio1/serio2/speed , and I set it to 250, which is much more comfortable. But something keeps resetting it back to 97, usually when the computer sleeps, and I have to keep going back in and changing that speed file.

Is there something I can change which permanently sets the mouse speed to 250?

If you don't get a better answer, check out "xset": at the least, you can set up a simple (one-line) mouse-speed script to run when you login.

Try this:
Make a copy of that speed file (just in case)
Edit the original speed file to 250
After saving the file, change the permissions of the file to read-only.

See if it stays.

xset doesn't seem to do anything on my system for some reason.
