See man xset. > I know about xset, but its man page does not contain the word "sensitivity". I have, though, reduced the resolution of the mouse through the kernel parameter psmouse.resolution=100. It seems to have solved the problem. To have the mouse in a good speed, I have increased acceleration from 2 to 4 and decreased threshold from 4 to 3. This is with a xset mouse 4 3 command that is called when Xfce starts. Two comments: 1) xorg.conf does have a "Resolution" option, but setting is has no effect. I do have to pass the resolution as a kernel parameter. 2) There should be a way to set acceleration and threshold in xorg.conf.
