I had the same problem on my Dell Inspiron - with a ps2 mouse, the
touchpad and trackpoint (it has both) worked fine. However, when I
plugged in a USB mouse, the onboard rodents went dead. The answer
appears to be simple - the onboard rodents are seen as ps2 devices, and
as such, the same as the external mouse. Hence, when I use the ps2
mouse drivers, they also apply to the onboard rodents. However, when I
switch to a USB external rodent, the driver no longer sees the onboard
rodents, as they are ps2.

I'm running Redhat 7.3 on my dell 4100 laptop. The problem is when I use
a ps/2 mouse, I don't have any trouble switching between the touchpad and
mouse. However, when I use a USB mouse, my touchpad is rendered useless.
Can anyone help me out? The reason I ask is that I use my laptop at work,
and I want to be able to unplug at anytime without having to reboot and
still have the touchpad functional. Thanks in advance.
