Check out the Gentoo Desktop Configuration Guide (url below). There's a whole section about setting up XFree86 and in that part, there's something about setting up your USB mouse. You can also have more than one mouse in XFree86. I have two mouse sections in my XF86Config file on my laptop (one for the built-in mouse and the other for my USB mouse that I plug in from time to time). http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml#doc_chap2 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
