Well... the problem happpens in console as well, and with other
non-X apps like MacOnLinux. Some Apple PowerBooks have over-sensitive
trackpad. Apple themselves implement a similar mecanism in the kernel
driver of OS X.

  Mine is one of those machines.  I have to turn off gpm for sure, and X is
quite oversensitive too (tuned it in KDE, but still this functionality would
be very nice).

How about implementing it in mousedev.c?

Right, though it would need hooks in kbddev or something to know
about keystrokes.

It could accept keyboards as an event source for this purpose. I'd like
to keep this out of the input core.

Also, I don't like the sysctl's as those need
allocating sysctl numbers, which are always a problem. In 2.5,
we could have these in sysfs, though for 2.4 I'm not sure what
to do.

I don't think you can do much better than sysctl or module parameters in 2.4.
