Hi Ed,
a) type "man XF86Config" :P
b) Yep, get rid of it! But if 90% of the time u only use the default
mouse like me set the default layout then setup a different lilo linux
or pass an option to go into a different runlevel.
but thats more hastle
i do
$startx to use my USB mouse (enableing the touch mouse on my laptop)
$ startx -- -layout 1 (use touch mouse)
SendCoreEvents means you can have both mice working with X at the same
time, but this is more anoying than useful for me as when i type if i
tap the touch pad mouse the cursor jumps to a differend postion when typing.
Good luck
JG
ps my XF86Config-4 file, layout 2 is default as it comes first
