Hello list,

So I'm messing around with the PS/2 mouse driver
(drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c), and I'm wondering what the
psmouse_rate variable is for. From the source file itself, the rate
parameter of the module is described as "Report rate, in reports per
second". The description is pretty straightforward, but I'm asking because
when I changed that value to 1 (i.e. the mouse is now supposed to report
changes in state every one second), the mouse was still very responsive (and
the cursor location was updated immediately as opposed to updating every
full second as I was expecting). In other words, changing psmouse_rate from
100 to 1 didn't seem to have any effects on the "report rate" (if my
understanding of "report rate" is correct).

Thanks,
Yousef
