>This mini-HOWTO was created by gathering the information already available on
|
|
the internet, in newsgroups and other HOWTOs. I needed to hook up an USB mouse
|
|
in addition to the built-in trackpoint on my Thinkpad laptop. </P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Examples in this mini-HOWTO pertain to my particular hardware configuration,
|
|
which is PS/2 mouse as a primary pointer and USB wheel mouse as an additional
|
|
one. It should be pretty straightforward to implement another combination, say,
|
|
a PS/2 and a serial mice. Two things that would have to be changed are the
|
|
<EM
|
|
>mouse
|
|
protocol</EM
|
|
> and the <EM
|
|
>mouse device</EM
|
|
>. Wherever
|
|
possible, I try to provide appropriate examle. </P
|
|

|
|
>The instructions for X are divided into two sections, one fro XFree version 3 and one
|
|
for XFree 4. The format of the XF86Config file has significantly changed between
|
|
versions and requires slightly different approach. In XFree 3.x, the second
|
|
mouse has to appear in an <EM
|
|
>Xinput</EM
|
|
> section, which has
|
|
slightly different syntax than the regular <EM
|
|
>Pointer</EM
|
|
> section.
|
|
In XFree 4.x, it's just another pointer.</P
