PS/2 and USB Mouse at the same time ?Forum: X and Fluxbox Topic: PS/2 and USB Mouse at the same time ? started by: bilbo_b Posted by bilbo_b on Sep. 23 2006,18:07
HelloI have DSL 3.01 installed on a laptop with a touchpad. the mouse (touchpad) is configured via xsetup.sh as /dev/psaux (PS2). this works for the touchpad. but sometimes i will use a microsoft intelli mouse explorer (usb optical mouse). For this to get to work, i have to run xsetup.sh again. After this, the USB mouse is working but the touchpad not. Can i have both devices working at the same time ? What should i make to have both devices at the same time ? Posted by bilbo_b on Sep. 30 2006,18:50
Anyone with an idea

I'm going to _guess_ that you might need xfree86 or xorg for multiple pointers. I know those servers will allow you to specify a second pointer with some tweaking to XF86Config, but I don't know if it's supported by DSL's X server.
