I would like to get my USB mouse (MS Intellimouse) and my trackpoint working simultaneously. Could someone lend some assistance? As it stands, my TrackPoint works. However, I cannot get my USB mouse to work in X. I have an IBM ThinkPad running Slackware 10.2. When I attached the USB mouse, the kernel does recognize it as a MS Intellimouse. However, it does not tell me what device it's loading under. It says input0, but that is not a device such as /dev/usb/mouse0 or /dev/input/mouse0. I configured (via xorgcfg) the TrackPoint successfully, but do not know how to configure the USB mouse; I see no option to select it. In addition, how do I know what device to use? Choosing "Auto" simply selects my TrackPoint (PS/2) and *only* my TrackPoint. Is it even possible to set this up in X via xorgcfg? Am I right in that I must set up both mouse0 and mouse1 profiles in xorgcfg with the proper links to the devices. If so, again, what device does my USB mouse link to? This may help: is this something automatically recognized by KDE (the default X WM)? I use WindowMaker and would love to keep using it if possible. Thank you. Let me also add that I continue to appreciate and be impressed at how great Slackware is. =09 =09 __________________________________=20 Yahoo!
