So don't use /dev/input/mice for "all" mice, just for the USB mouse
that you plug in. Use /dev/input/eventX for the synaptics trackpad.
Here is what I have for my two mouse entries in xorg.conf, and it
hotplugs USB mice perfectly:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default"
Screen 0 "LCD"
InputDevice"touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice"usbmouse"
InputDevice"keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/trackpad_evt"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "SHMConfig" "On"
Option "LeftEdge" "1500"
Option "TopEdge" "1300"
Option "RightEdge" "5400"
Option "BottomEdge" "4400"
Option "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "On"
Option "EdgeMotionMinZ" "70"
Option "EdgeMotionMaxZ" "85"
Option "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "25"
Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "700"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.0"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.3"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.3"
Option "UpDownScrolling" "On"
Option "LeftRightScrolling" "On"
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
I use a custom udev rule to make the "trackpad_evt" device, otherwise
my keyboard and trackpad event nodes get mixed up between event0 and
event1:
BUS=="input", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{phys}=="isa0060/serio1/input0",
NAME:="input/trackpad_evt", SYMLINK="input/%k"
Either this, or you have to wait for a version of X.org that truly
supports mouse hot plugging.

I do indeed have CorePointer, and AlwaysCore for my various mice - and it works, so I don't think changing the xorg.conf file will fix it. It's just when I unplug a working usb mouse, it won't work when I plug it back in, UNLESS I switch to a console first. any other ideas? -- Iain Buchanan 3rd Law of Computing: Anything that can go wr fortune: Segmentation violation -- Core dumped -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] xorg can't work with hotplugged mice?
Hi all, from time to time I remove mice and plug them in, as I move my laptop around locations. Sometimes I also start my laptop without a mouse plugged in, and then plug one in after boot. But every time I do so, X doesn't recognise the "new" mouse. I have /dev/input/mouse[0-3] set up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I have to either restart X, or (this is interesting): switch to a console, unplug then replug the mouse, then switch back to X, and allofasudden the mouse works again. I can't use the generic /dev/input/mice, (the one-for-all device) because I have a synaptic driver for the touchpad (/dev/input/mouse1), and "auto" for any other mouse plugged in (/dev/input/mouse2). Now, the fact that switching to a console and re-plugging the mouse works is strange - this tells me that X "can" do it without restarting, but I don't know how to make it recognise the mouse... I can't (and don't want to) use custom udev rules for two reasons: 1. I want to plug in any mouse and have it used straight away as /dev/input/mouse2 2. This is such a simple problem, and udev seems like such a complicated solution :) And lastly, if I have X running with a working usb mouse (/dev/input/mouse2), and then unplug the mouse, then /dev/input/mouse2 stays there. Until I restart X or switch to a console and back (then it disappears)... strange!! does _anyone_ reading use X and _not_ the /dev/input/mice device? I would be interested to hear from you!!! thanks, -- Iain Buchanan Everyone writes on the walls except me. -Said to be graffiti seen in Pompeii -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
