hi all
am using RH8.0 .... when i plugged my usb mouse it kudzu detected it automatically and am using it very nicely on mylaptop ..

but when i wanted to use the touchpad .. i couldn't .. i thought it was because the usb is still connected .. i unplugged it and the same issue was there ...

i restarted and it asked me if i want to keep the configuration of the usb .. i choose to keep it .. ( the usb was not connected this moment) .. then i could use my touch pad again .. ! i had to plug the usb mouse and use it ...

my question is ..

is there any way that i can use BOTH at the same time? i mean the usb mouse and the laptops touch pad ..

and do i need to answer the question of keeping the configuration or not all the time?? if i want to just keep the configuration and use whatever i wanted at the same time .. is it possible? how?

thanks in advance

what to do now?

It is th XF86Config file

here you go:

[root@localhost winfonts]# cat /etc/X11/XF86Config

# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
