[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, on my Tecra8000 I have one internal psm mouse and one (optional) external optical Logitech wheel mouse. The trick is to use moused on the OS side and /dev/sysmouse on X side. It's all working amazingly flawless (including Wheel usage). usbd is starting a 2nd moused on insertion. Both moused's multiplex their input to /dev/sysmouse transparently. /boot/loader.conf shows: ... usb_load="YES" ums_load="YES" ... /etc/rc.conf shows: ... moused_enable="YES" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_flags="-3" ... usbd_enable="YES" ... /etc/X11/XF86Config shows: ... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "PS/2" Driver "mouse" # For Sysmouse Option "Protocol" "Auto" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" #For Wheel Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Bye/2 ------ Michael Reifenberger - IT, UNIX, R/3-Basis Work: Michael.Reifenberger@plaut.de Proj: Michael.Reifenberger.gp@icn.siemens.de Pers: Michael@Reifenberger.com Webspace: http://www.reifenberger.com > -----Urspr> ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Peter Radcliffe [SMTP:pir@pir.net] > Gesendet am: Sonntag, 12.
