TTimo of id Software recently wrote a new mouse acceleration scheme. The old q3 mouse accel, which is also present in ezquake, has a few drawbacks. No matter what value it's set to, the accel curve is always a square (power of 2), and the accel is related to more than just the sensitivity and dpi - even at sensitivity 0 the q3 (and qw) mouse accel will still move your mouse around. The new code is gpl'd, feels very smooth, and I think it should be in ezquake.

Here's the code,

and here's TTimo's explanation of what it does
