I recently patched 2.6.0-test9 to 2.6.0-test9-bk9. Hard disk cache read
timings on /dev/hda went from 13 to 24 MB/sec, and on /dev/hdb from 24
to 28 MB/sec. The problem is that my mouse became slow. It was very
fast in 2.6.0-test9, but with bk9 it became very slow (4 edge-to-edge
drags across the mouse pad to go across the screen). "xset m 9 1"
works, but I am at times unable to resize windows (the mouse is skipping
over the edge of the window). Option "Resolution" "250" in Section
"InputDevice" of XF86Config and restarting the X server does not work
either (nor does substituting for 250 : 15, 100, 500, 2000, 15000).
It's a minor thing, but it would be nice to change the mouse speed
again.
Thanks in advance.

The same here, using /dev/psaux; I tried it too, changing resolution in Xfree
4.3, without success.
I don't know if this is a small bug or now there is a different way to set
mouse resolutions, but the default behaviour is changed.
Maybe the relevant change is this, test9-bk4 IIRC:
file: drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c

I also notice this on 2.6.0-test9-mm1 (haven't tried -mm2 yet). If I increase
the sensitivity in GNOME 2.4, it feels 'shaky' (it jumps around a bit when
moving it) and is still slower than I'd like (I can get it closer by increasing
the acceleration to x10, but then the mouse is even shakier when I try to move
it only a little).
