Dual mouse controllers with one cusor
I am currently running mandrake 10 and use a track ball or a mouse with the computer. When the computer boots up with just the trackball (PS/2) or mouse(USB), which ever one was plugged in works.
For me to have both the track ball and mouse available and working, I have to boot the computer with the PS/2 trackball in and then plug in the USB mouse after boot-up. If I boot-up the computer with both attached, only the USB mouse will work. How can I make the PS/2 trackball and USB mouse both work straight away after boot-up? |
Have you tried configuring your X config to have both of them hooked up?
I don't know what the USB mouse configuration is. I have a PS/2 and a Serial mouse hooked on my computer and they are setted up to run on my computer. Everything for the serial mouse on my computer is configured and I setted the Identifier of the serial mouse to "Mouse2" Then on the very bottom, for the "ServerLayout" section, i have my mouses setted up like this : InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" Maybe it could be configured to be something like that. Just that the USB mouse is CorePointer and trackball could be the CoreEvent sender. I don't remember correctly though, but if you're using the 2.6.x kernel in Mandrake 10.0, there's a option for using a USB and PS/2 mouse in the Mandrake Control Panel. |
in Mandrake 10.0, there's a option for using "ANY PS/2 & USB mice" which is my current setting. I will try you other ideas.
