I had the same problem, the solution was to define the usb mouse as a second mouse and run it through gpm in repeater mode (X uses /dev/gpmdata). I still need to load gpm manually when I plug the mouse in since it doesn't get loaded if there is no mouse, but that could probably be configured to happen through hotplug (haven't tried). > > > > Peace > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________ > > Do you Yahoo!? > > Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
