Only work with one input device at a time. By default, X will use
/dev/input/mice , which consolidates all the mice into a single device
selection. Force X to use only a single mouse by putting the following
in your xorg.conf file:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "InvY" "true"
EndSection
You will probably have to play around with the /dev/input/mouseN to
figure out which mouse you want. I recommend using a standard PS/2 mouse
to start with.
Please note that you have to include the "InvY" option in quotes as I
have shown. You did not so I don't know if that is a typo or an actual
cut-and-paste from your real xorg.conf.
Once you have done that, start X and look at your log file in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and see that it picks up the option on the mouse. If
it doesn't, there is something else going on.
