Hello I posted a message last week. I got a reply of a work around from John Tapsell. I had used that work around before.
I would like to request that a "default mouse" feature be added. This would be fairly simple to add I think. I am sure that I am not the only one interested in a feature like this. Using the SendCoreEvents means that when i type if I knock the touch pad or buttons on the laptop the cursor jumps to where the mouse is and the text gets typed in the wrong place. The screen section has DefaultColorDepth, this is very useful, I would not want to specify a the color depth each time i use X windows! How about adding a DefaultMouse option? The current situation is this I specify my mouse in the XF86Config-4 file and i get that If i specify another on the command line there is not an error, i just get the XF86Config-4 mouse. (should there be an error?) If there are no mice in the XF86Config-4 and i do not specify one I get an error. What I would be interested in is being able to Override the Mouse in the XF86Config-4 with another one via the command line. That could be by no aditional keywords, just the -pointer option to startx using that one. Or a DefaultMouse = mouse1 option which could be overrident by startx -- -pointer mouse2 Has this been considered before? Do you think it is a useful adition?

Is this possible?
