USB is very easy if the kernel knows the USB-controller. You just have
to install a USB-manager (hotplug is suposed to be better, don't
really know why) and that's it. The default X-config already includes
a section for a generic input-core mouse which will be used if the
USB-mouse is plugged in. The other mouse(s) continues to work.
