Re: Mouse setup under X
I utterly refuse to quote ten levels deep... hurts my head I would think the best bet for running two ps2 mice with different protocols simultaneously would be gpm - you can configure (with a little trouble) X to work happily alongside gpm, and gpm allows you to specify protocol and has a -m (I believe it's -m) option to specify other mice. Still, I think it might be a big 'ol headache - might be easier to convince one of the ps2 mice to talk the others language, through a series of hooked on phonics training and hardware gutting :P -Martin N. - This email has been sent as a single line of query, and in no way indicates the senders interest in or acceptance of any promotions or "opt-in"'s unless otherwise EXPRESSLY noted.

I'm probably guilty of the same crime, since Paulo didn't actually say he wanted to use both simultaneously. I think Yoann's is a good answer to the then slightly different problem. I wonder if (and I have no way to test this at present) you could run two simultaneous instances of X on separate consoles, each one using one of Yoann's ServerLayouts. Probably not, because each one will attempt to initialize the psaux interface for itself. Rolf

Can someone tel me how to setup two mouses on the same device, using two diferrent protocols? Thanks! Paulo. I had the same problem... first, create 2 Sections "InputDevice" for each mouse like this for your internal mouse : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Internal Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device""/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" < if you have no wheel, maybe you don't need this EndSection for your external mousse Section "InputDevice" Identifier "External Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device""/dev/psaux" <-- check for your write device Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" <-- here for imwheel Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection second, create to Section "ServerLayout" as well like this Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "server1" Screen "Screen 1" <--- here put your own Screen identifier InputDevice "Internal Mouse" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" <--- here put your own keyboard identifier EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "server2" Screen "Screen 1" <--- here put your own screen identifier InputDevice "External Mouse" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"< here put your own keyboard identifier EndSection and create 2 alias in the file .bashrc (or the .filerc for your shell) for the fisrt ServeurLayout alias x='startx -- -layout server1' or alias x='startx' in that case, startx will take the first serverLayout it will find in the XF86Config file and for the second ServerLayout alias x2='startx -- -layout server2' but in that way, you have to boot in console mode and lauch startx by hand Yoann __ Modem offert : 150,92 euros remboursés sur le Pack eXtense de Wanadoo !
