Just to close the loop on this thread, here's what I ended up doing
to get my USB mouse working. All of the changes shown here were made
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and were essentially the same as Brian sent
in his earlier email.
First, I added a line to my "ServerLayout" section:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Anaconda Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "USB Mice" "AlwaysCore" # <--- new line here
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Now add a section for the new input device:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
It turns out I also had to tweak the declaration for my internal PS/2
trackpoint to use a different device than /dev/input/mice:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
# Modified by mouseconfig
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" # <-- tweak
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Now both of my mice are working and I'm a happy, happy camper. I'll show
you the new setup when I give my EUG-LUG talk in March.
