I have been using a dual-pointer setup, a cordless wheel mouse (Logitech)
on the PS/2 port and a USB track ball (Logitech Marble Mouse). It sort
of worked with USB Legacy Device Mode enabled in the BIOS, but would
always get confused after a while. Among other frustrations, turning
on Emulate3Buttons for the track ball would disable the ZAxisMapping
for the wheel mouse.
Since I was already running RH6.2 + 2.2.14 kernl and USB backport,
I decided to try using the USB interface directly. I got gpm to
work with the setup in character mode, using:
gpm -m /dev/psaux -t imps2 -M -m /dev/input/mice -t ps2 -R imps2
However, I haven't gotten it to work with X yet (XFree86 3.3.6, SVGA
server). As a test, I tried this in my XF86Config:
Section "Xinput"
# For Logitech Marble Mouse on USB
SubSection "usbMouse"
DeviceName "usbMouse"
Protocol "ps/2"
Device "/dev/input/mice"
Emulate3Buttons
Emulate3Timeout 50
AlwaysCore
EndSubSection
# PS/2 wheel Mouse
SubSection "ps2Mouse"
DeviceName "ps2Mouse"
Protocol "imps/2"
Device "/dev/psaux
ZAxisMapping 4 5
AlwaysCore
EndSubSection
EndSection
The track ball works as expected, but the PS/2 mouse is completely
ignored. Could it be that XF86 3.3.6 just doesn't handle the two mice
simultaneously?
