I have 2 Touch screens in the Xinerama mode or in the TwinView mode (nVidia). The mice are attached over the COM-Port.
Unfortunately only one mouse-pointer is controled from both mice
screens I'm beginning to see why you ask, but I don't understand what you would expect the X server to do with two pointers*.
X only has the concept of one pointer and one focus (usually the window
in which you can type). How would you use 2 pointers ?

Hello Dr Andrew C Aitchison ,
I am a programmer of graphic surfaces.
And I would like to serve 2 things at the same time with 2 different
mice! That can happen in the same application.
e.g.: to press two buttons down at the same time.
Ok, its a little difficult with 2 mice, but if u only use Touce-Screen's its absolutely necessarily.
We simulate different things of daily handling:In car we uses brake and clutch at the same time, too. With a screen operation that would not be possible?
Thank you for your interest!
