Joining the conversation late ... sorry.  Have you thought about
mounting a server on top of the mouse device that reads the raw
positioning data and passes up a running average of the last n
positions?  Basically, interpose a low pass filter to help remove
some of the jitter.  I have no idea if it will work -- it just leapt
to mind as I sit here breadboarding RC audio filters ;-)
