That actually is a special case, as all mice share a single device, /dev/input/mice, as well as each having their own device, /dev/input/mouse{0,1,2,...}. In this case, the kernel itself handles hotplugging, and X only saw /dev/input/mice. - -- ABCD -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknbl6MACgkQOypDUo0oQOp5lwCfXP/aRwCQ9cTmv8BgazsqSBw0 4/0AoKRK611WJgzUq3H/tmoc1BqtG1pT =a2P0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
