Oh Ye Debian Guru's!
I have a Dell Latitude CPx with the combo touchpad and stylus
(eraser-head) mouse. These input devices share the PS/2 interface
along with the PS/2 connector on the back of the laptop. Also, this
touchpad/stylus is a regular 2-button mouse. I have the BIOS set so
that if I have a mouse connected, the touchpad/stylus don't work.
No to my problem: I want to be able to plug in a 3-button mouse with
the scroll wheel, however X is configured for a 2-button mouse with
3-button emulation. So, I change the X config to use the 3-button
mouse and scroll wheel, but when I disconnect that mouse and the
touchpad/stylus come alive it doesn't work since I have the ImPS/2
driver running on that device (/dev/mouse (psaux)).
My current work-around is to swap out the X config file based on the
mouse I want to use. But this is kind of a pain. Is there a way to
plug either a 2-button, 3-button w/ scrollwheel, or none (use the
built-in touchpad/stylus) and just have it work?
