Same usb Logitech optical mouse w/ scrollwheel, but plugged it in and was
away laughing in Mandrake. Except I had to use my PS/2 mouse to change the
mouse settings to USB. I tried to get them both to work at the same time in
XF68 3.3.6, but even though I followed the how-to to the letter it didn't
work first time, and I haven't gone back to try again.

In theory, is there any limit to the number of mice that can be handled
simultaneously in XF86? I can't think of a reason why one would want 4 or 5
people controlling the same pointer, but would be fun to try.

Also, does a usb mouse provide a better performance than the equivalent
mouse, in a PS/2 port? I would have thought that any differences would have
been almost indiscernible.

I use a USB Logitech mouse with a scrollwheel.  First time I used it (over
a
year ago on a Gentoo system) I had to recompile my kernel and manually edit
my XF86Config file, but it's been peaches and cream since then.
