Thanks again, KC9!
I first ran 'xinput' to get a list of input devices. ID 6 was assigned to <default pointer>. So I ran `xinput list-props 6` and saw that a property for Velocity Scaling exists, numbered 234. Indeed calling 'xinput set-prop 6 234 15.0` has allowed me to adjust the pointer velocity. We don't even need a 'synclient'! I will be tweaking this and dumping a suitable config in my .xinitrc.
I honestly feared it would be much harder. Hopefully this knowledge is of benefit to other newcomers.
P.S: Adjusting 'Device Accel Profile', no. 231, also helps give the pointer a boost.
