Getting glidepoint and mouse working simultaneously
Hello everyone.
I am trying to switch over to slack 9.1 on my laptop from Redhat/Fedora . I can get my USB mouse working fine, with the scroll wheel. I can get the normal glidepoint/pad on the laptop working fine just using the default ps/2. I have not figured out how to keep from switching back and forth with mouseconfig however, so that I can use either, depending on whether or not I am docked.
Currently I just run mouseconfig and reboot to get gdm to start with the appropriate device. I am sure I can configure this, as it worked fine with redhat.
