[newbie] touchpad or mouse?

[Giovanni Fatigati]

sorry for the lack of details,
all the assumptions were correct: I have a laptop and I am using a PS/2 wheel mouse.
I checked better the "xorg.conf".
As you can see from the part I pasted here, the system detected both mouse and touchpad

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse1"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "SynapticsMouse1"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "MinSpeed" "0.09"
    Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
    Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
    Option "SHMConfig" "on"
    Option "FingerLow" "25"
    Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
    Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
    Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
    Option "FingerHigh" "30"
    Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
    Option "TopEdge" "1700"
    Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
    Option "RightEdge" "5300"
EndSection

when I boot the system with the mouse connected, both mouse and touchpad works correctly.
when I boot the system without the mouse, only with the touchpad, I get the lynux frozen during the startup. It says that X server cannot run as the pointer mouse is not set correctly.

ciao
