First, people will probably need your config file. Hans W. Uhlig wrote: > Ok Ive got a laptop with bad mice and I need to be able to swap out to an > external usb mouse.

Is it sufficient to get the USB mouse to 'plug-and-play'? Or do you also want to
disable the other mouse? It's legal (and probably easier) to have two mice
active, after all. Make sure you have entries for both mice. With this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USBMouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6"
EndSection
and this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "USBMouse"
EndSection
my PS2 mouse works, and I can plug in a USB mouse at will (assuming I've loaded
the hid kernel module).

p.s. I don't know if it's wrong to have both as 'CorePointers'.
