Hi, everything works fine, but im in trouble with my mice settings.

Ive Installed DsL on an old Sony Vaio Laptop (PCG-F160), and when i set up the Xvesa server with an ps/2 mouse, my touchpad works fine.

But when i plug on my Logitech optical usb mouse, nothing happens. ive first to set up my xserver again with the usb mouse option, then the usb mouse works well, but the touchpad does not work.

To use the touchpad ive again to setup with ps/2 mouse....

But i dont want to setup and restart when i want to use my mouse instead of the touchpad... what should i do ?

sorry for my broken english!

Press CONTROL-ALT-BACKSPACE and then type

Then answer the prompts.

Finally, type:
