[quake2] To all the mouse problem peoples

[Anders Storsveen]

I also noticed that by default I have mouse acc, when I enter X I have to  
do xset m 0 0, and "xset m" sets it to default, which is with mouseacc. In  
kdm I also have it. I tried another thing here, I started quake3 and then  
went to consoe and did "DISPLAY=:0 xset m 0 0" which definantly changed  
the mouse in quake3, I still had mouseacc but the mouse was faster.
