Why is the PS2 mouse tracking about 2x faster in 2.6.0-test7 compared

If I move the mouse 1 inch horizontally left-to-right on the mouse
pad, the cursor on the screen moves almost twice the distance on the
screen compared to Linux 2.4.xx
It's probably mostly because Vojtech changed the samplerate from 200 to
60. Here's a patch to change it back. I've sent it to Vojtech but he's
completely ignored it so far. This patch also readds the fallback logic
that was used before his change, although it uses the new
samplerate-table.
Without this patch my mouse is awful to use.
Vojtech, please consider this patch, at least say yay or nay.
Patch considered. I'll up the samplerate default to 80, but not more,
since samplerates above that cause trouble for a lot of people (keyboard
doesn't work when you're moving the mouse).
The "set lower rate in case ..." part of the patch doesn't make sense.
If the user gives a too low (less than 10) samples per second, then the
original code will try to set 0, which is stupid, but harmless. The
added code will try to access beyond the bounds of the rates[] array.
