That explains it......
Now I see why it rounded it like that......

but even if I do a scale=1, I get 89.6
scale=0 obviously gives me the rounded "86"

So is there not a way to just get 89?

NAME
mouse_setscale - sets a mouse scale factor SYNOPSIS
#include <vgamouse.h> void mouse_setscale(int s); DESCRIPTION
This routine sets the scale factor between the motion reported by the mouse and the size of one pixel. The larger the scale is, the slower the mouse cursor appears to move. The scale may be set to any non-zero integer. Negative scales result in flipped axes. Currently, there is no support for scale factors between 0 and 1 which would make the mouse appear faster than usual. If this routine is never called, scale s defaults to 1. SEE ALSO
