2 mice under gpm with udev
Maybe this time I can ask a less stupid question...
Until now, on various thinkpads with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels (<2.6.10), I
have plugged in a USB mouse and it Just Worked. That is to say both the
little red tit and the usb mouse were functional at once. And what
worked for gpm was reproduced in X (via gpmdata).
Now I have a 2.6.14-2-686 kernel and udev. And now the thinkpad 600E's
trackpoint still works (almost regardless of 'type=' setting in
/etc/gpm.conf) but the usb mouse skitters about, jumping a couple of
centimetres at every touch. I see that you can define device2 and type2
in gpm.conf, but I cannot find how to separate the two devices, they
both seem to talk through /dev/input/mice (as before).
How do i get the mice to be different devices, so that gpm can treat
them as different types?
(On a Dell Inspiron 8200, on the other hand, I get only the usb mouse,
and the touchpad is dead. I'd quite like to know why this is too.)
For the thinkpad, the relevant part of dmesg follows, in case it helps.
