Re: second mouse

[Andy Bastien <lists@yuggoth.net>]

FWIW, here's what I have:


Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "PS2Mouse"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "PS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "USBMouse"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "imps/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Panel Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "PS2Mouse" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "USBMouse" "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection



I see two differences: You have "AlwaysCore" instead of
"SendCoreEvents" in the "ServerLayout", and your /dev settings appear
to be different.  I have /dev/input/mice on major 13, minor 63.  This
is different from what is in devices.txt in the linux source, and I
seem to remember initially trying those values only to find that they
didn't work.  The numbers that I'm using have come from
http://www.linux-usb.org .  If your mouse is working you should be
able to cat it (in a console).  You also might want to try using the
ps/2 protocol instead of the imps/2 protocol (imps is for MS
Intellimouse, which is what I have (their operating systems might
suck, but they make great mice <g>)).
