I use an external mouse: it's just a matter of setting up a
second InputDevice entry. Here's my XF86Config-4 entry:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB_Mice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device"
"/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Builtin_Touchpad"
InputDevice "USB_Mice"
EndSection
You do have to hand-tweak it since debconf only sets up one
mouse for you. You'll probably want to move these two
sections past ### END DEBCONF SECTION area to protect it from future X
upgrades.
