I have problems in configuring both the USB mouse and Trackpad to work. I do not want only one of them to work, so that there is not need to re-configure the hardware whenever i unplug or plug in the USB mouse.
I've searched the forums and googled, but came up with nothing that worked.

Now, I was under the impression that you can have multiple "ServerLayout" sections. Each one needs to have a line: Identifier "Some Text Here"
Here's a quote from my XFree86 configuration file:
Quote:
# **********************************************************************
# ServerLayout sections.
# **********************************************************************
# Any number of ServerLayout sections may be present. Each describes
# the way multiple screens are organised. A specific ServerLayout
# section may be specified from the X server command line with the
# "-layout" option. In the absence of this, the first section is used.
# When now ServerLayout section is present, the first Screen section
# is used alone.
I had a few problems with the Thinkpad pointer and USB mouse. It was easily fixed.
With RedHat 8.0, all that I had to do was install RedHat with no mouse connected. I just used the Pointer throughout the install with no problems. Once the install was completed, I just switched the correct mouse driver and everything has been perfect ever since!
The pointer and mouse both work at the same time. When I pull out the mouse, the pointer still works without probs.
