I've never done it, as my laptop has a 3 button mouse built in, but I've
seen other people's config files posted here and there that have several
devices listed for input - something like <makes up rough guide>:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "MouseMan"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
Option "Emulate Three Buttons" "True"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
EndSection
Good luck and happy googling,
Steve
