I have a laptop with the standard PS/2 touchpad. However, I ocassionally plug in a USB Mouse. After much documentation, I got to configure both devices to work simultaneously (See XF86Config-4 below).
However, if I start the computer only with the touchpad, and I plug in the mouse later on when KDE is running, it won't work. I have to restart the X Server in order for it to start working. Isn't there a way by which the device will be automatically be recognised right after being plugged in?
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse2"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
