I don't understand how dexconf could have generated such an xorg.conf,
with two devices using the mouse driver. But, it looks like a lot of
people are having this problem, so maybe there's something I'm missing.
What's even weirder is how your device is named 'Synaptics touchpad' yet
has 'Driver "mouse"'. Are you sure it hasn't been manually modified?
Also, I'm pretty sure every mouse device, unless otherwise grabbed,
*does* produce events on /dev/input/mice on all 2.6 kernels.
In any case, I'll gladly accept patches (bonus points if they're
tested).
Cheers,
Julien
