|
|
<P>In some cases, for instance a laptop with a built-in pointing device,
|
|
you may wish to use a serial mouse as a second device. In most cases
|
|
the built-in device uses the PS/2 protocol, and can be ignored if
|
|
you don't wish to use it. Simply configure gpm or X to use <CODE>/dev/ttyS0</CODE>
|
|
(or whatever) as usual.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>To use both at once, you can use <CODE>gpm -M</CODE> to re-export the
|
|
devices. More details in the gpm man page. Also, XFree 3.3.1 and later
|
|
support muliple input devices, using the XInput mechanism. Auto-generated
|
|
XF86Config files should have the necessary comments in them.
