Did you add your second mouse to the ServerLayout Section? That should
read something like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "Generic Mouse"
EndSection
Of course the other identifiers have to correspond to the sections in
question. If you want to call the second mouse "Morse Mouse" you just
have to use that name in both sections.
