Well, the mouse I have is a PS2, not USB, so both devices will bind to /dev/psaux. So I don't think this will work. (I did try is anyway and it doesn't) I don't know of anyway to have two protocols on the same device, so I think I'm out-o-luck. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

One mouse1 and the other mouse2 for example. Set up the first one to use /dev/psaux and the ps/2 protocol. Even set it to do 3rd button emulation. Then set the other one to use imps/2, do scroll buttons, and use /dev/input/mice as the input. (presuming it's usb) Then set the ServerLayout to use one as "CorePinter" and the other as "SendCoreEvents." Here's an example, that's mostly syntactically correct: Section "ServerLayout" : InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection : : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Michael On Thu, 2003-02-20 at 13:02, Tucker, David wrote: > Hi all, > I just installed SuSE 8.0 on my Dell laptop.
