[expert] Two mouses on 'X'...how?
Hi! I've heard that it's possible to have two pointing devices on 'X'. Especially on KDE, I need two mouses operating but I don't know which file to edit! One mouse ps/2 and the other serial (MS or PC - it's a trackball in reality). Hope you can help me!

You basically need to add another section to the Input Device part Make sure you change the identifier line (change to mouse2 or something) and you also need to change the Option Device line to point to the second mouse device. You might need to have a look at the xfree.org doco - it gives you a list of modules that you need to load for the various types of pointing devices.
