If you are using a 2.6 kernel, use /dev/input/mice as your input device, instead of whatever you are using now. You can use that as your only input device, or like me, configure it as an additional input device. The relevant sections of my xorg.conf are: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default" Screen 0 "LCD" 0 0 InputDevice"touchpad" "CorePointer" InputDevice"usbmouse" InputDevice"keyboard" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" Option "Protocol" "event" Option "SHMConfig" "On" Option "LeftEdge" "1400" Option "TopEdge" "1550" Option "RightEdge" "5900" Option "BottomEdge" "4350" Option "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "On" Option "EdgeMotionMinZ" "75" Option "EdgeMotionMaxZ" "90" Option "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "50" Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "1000" Option "MinSpeed" "0.0" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.3" Option "AccelFactor" "0.3" Option "UpDownScrolling" "On" Option "LeftRightScrolling" "Off" Option "Buttons" "8" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "usbmouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Buttons" "8" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "SendCoreEvents" "On" EndSection The only tricky thing is that I have to make sure that my trackpad (a PS/2 mouse) gets setup by the kernel before the USB mouse. So I build PS/2 mouse support into my kernel, and load usbhid as a module. I also have hibernate reload the usbhid module when I do a suspend/stanby cycle. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Dynamicly Loaded USB mouse under Xorg ?
Does anyone know of a way to have my USB Mouse dynamicly loaded under Xorg? Goal: Start X, do whatever - move to place more condusive to haveing an external mouse, as opposed to my track pad, Plug in the USB mouse, and Have it work without haveing to restart X. Problems: (As I see it) -Xorg only loads devices at startup. Hence new Pointers like my USBMouse aren't recognised. All my pointer work fine, just the way I want them to when I have every thing plugged in at Xorg startup. I cannot use /dev/input/mice, as that screws up the configs for the Mouse/Touchpad.
