How about putting an example into @file{frames.texi}, soon after
description of @code{mouse-wheel-progressive-speed}?  Here is a draft.

  Occasionally scrolling by a ``wheel'' or a ``touchpad'' is accelerated
  by system.  In such case, default configuration may scroll too fast.
  If so, for example, you can add the following lines to your init file
  (@pxref{Init File}) to scroll less.
  
  @example
  (setq mouse-wheel-scroll-amount '(1 ((shift) . 5) ((control))))
  (setq mouse-wheel-progressive-speed nil)
  @end example
