I tested it, attached is a patch to current CVS (ps2.[h|cpp] not
duplicated), a little easier to read now.

I am not sure yet what it does - it does not seem to me as if it was
ready to be included in KDE (yet?).

- You have to give users access to /dev/psaux

- Even then, it does not seem to work here (XFree 4.0.3, at least not
  by simply pressing "Apply" as the explanation suggests)


It gives you a config dialog with the following options:
____________________________________________________________________

[X] I'm using a PS/2 mouse           { default off }

PS2 Sample Rate (samples/second)     { slider range 10..200, default "60" }

Resolution (counts/mm)               { slider 1..8, def. "8" }

[X] PS/2 mouse scaling 2:1           { default on }

PS2 Mouse Device                     { lineedit "/dev/psaux" }

With this tab you can setup the PS/2 mouse directly, which will
usually give a very smooth mouse behaviour in X-windows. Note that
by accessing the mouse device directly, bypassing X-windows, one
can expect a little bit of a mouse problem when applying the
settings of this tab. Just move the mouse a little bit around and
do some clicking. The mouse pointer will start behaving correctly
again after a short time.
