Trackpad Sensitivity

I thought the trackpad in XFree86 (Debian) on my iBook was set to turbo or something. I tried xset m 1 and that helped but it was still too sensitive. The problem turned out to be something I didn't expect: both the "Configured Mouse" and "Generic Mouse" sections were sending events. I changed two lines in my ServerLayout section, so it now looks like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier    "Default Layout"
    Screen        "Default Screen"
    InputDevice   "Generic Keyboard"
    #InputDevice  "Configured Mouse"
    InputDevice   "Generic Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection

My trackpad has dropped out of warp.
