[BUG] 2.4.0-ac8 PS/2 mouse woes

[BUG] 2.4.0-ac8 PS/2 mouse woes

[Forever shall I be.]

I just booted to 2.4.0-ac8 (from 2.4.0-ac6) and noticed the mouse was
going rather slow in X, so I pumped up the "Resolution" a bit more and
restarted it.. Didn't help, and when I exited the kernel gave a nice
big OOPS in kapm-idled (sorry, i don't have the output), and don't
know if it's related to the mouse problem, but I do know the mouse
problem goes away when I back out the changes in the ac8 patch to
pc_keyb.c..   I also have the cuecat patch applied, and use it over
the PS/2 mouse port, but I don't think it's interfering..  I doubt
this will be noticable to people not using the "Resolution" option to
speed up the mouse, and mine's rather insane:

(zinx@bliss)/etc/X11$ cat XF86Config | grep Resolution
    Option "Resolution" "50000"

Anyway, just letting you know, and very sorry for the lack of
information..

Can you tell me if the problem can be duplicated without the cuecat patch
applied. It is quite possible the ps/2 mouse patch is buggy

Its most of the info I need. Since I churn through patches fast we can normally
get a good guess at the culprit.

Yes, and I tried out 2.4.0-ac7 too, just for kicks, and it doesn't break
with ac7..

Also, the Oops I got is apparently due to my own code, so I'll be trying
to fumble my way through fixing it :)
