Apon trying the latest -bk, I've noticed changes in how the kernel
determines mouse rate.

Although this was easy to fix with gpm, XFree86-HEAD does not seem to
honor any manual overriding of the mouse rate. Even when setting the rate
to 60 this did not work.

After reverting the psmouse-base.c changes XFree86 behaved like previous.

I would suggest reverting the patch until this issue is resolved. I don't
know what X is doing to get the mouse rate but it certainly ignored it
when I set psmouse_rate=60 in kernel parameters. Perhaps someone knows
something I'm not doing...

I have the same problem, but I find that booting with the psmouse_noext
kernel parameter reverses the unwanted behavior.

My other 2.6 machine running with a KVM switch is not at all affected
by the recent change.
