I use an external mouse: it's just a matter of setting up a second InputDevice entry. Here's my XF86Config-4 entry: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB_Mice" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection ... Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Builtin_Touchpad" InputDevice "USB_Mice" EndSection You do have to hand-tweak it since debconf only sets up one mouse for you. You'll probably want to move these two sections past ### END DEBCONF SECTION area to protect it from future X upgrades. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
