But I think that evdev is a newer and better driver for
the input system of the Linux kernel. (I can be wrong of course..)
evdev works fine for me (see 'my' xorg.conf, below).

Are you stating there's a conflict between evdev and nvidia, or that
they both have problems? Neither are giving me any trouble (that I know
of...). Performance here isn't blistering, but certainly not dog-slow,
either. I'm running nvidia 100.14.19-1 from testing ATM.
Someone mentioned that "SendCoreEvents" isn't working? Again, it *seems*
to be here. Note WHERE I have it set (InputDevice section for PS/2
Trackball; ServerLayout Section for the USB Mouse). I found these
settings on the net from an xorg.conf that was set up (and working
correctly, according to the author) for a laptop with a Synaptics
Trackball and a USB mouse. Tastes great, less filling - even on my
desktop (I use a Trackball AND a wireless optical mouse to at least help
relieve my RSIs - although keyboard shortcuts work much better).
excerpt from my xorg.conf:

Both mice seem to work really well with these settings, and w/o
interfering which each other (they actually work beautifully together -
exactly what my screaming arm begs for). Additionally, the (Logitech)
Trackball has as much functionality as I've ever seen under Linux OR
WinBloze.
Hope this may help someone...Keith
