So don't use /dev/input/mice for all mice, just for the USB mouse
that you plug in. Use /dev/input/eventX for the synaptics trackpad.
Here is what I have for my two mouse entries in xorg.conf, and it
hotplugs USB mice perfectly:

Identifier Default
Screen 0 LCD
InputDevicetouchpad CorePointer
InputDeviceusbmouse
InputDevicekeyboard CoreKeyboard

Option EdgeMotionUseAlways On

Option EdgeMotionMinSpeed 25
Option EdgeMotionMaxSpeed 700
Option MinSpeed 0.0
Option MaxSpeed 0.3
Option AccelFactor 0.3
Option UpDownScrolling On
Option LeftRightScrolling On
Option Buttons 8
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
Section InputDevice
Identifier usbmouse
Driver mouse
Option Protocol ExplorerPS/2
Option Device /dev/input/mice
Option Buttons 8
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
Option SendCoreEvents On
EndSection
I use a custom udev rule to make the trackpad_evt device, otherwise
my keyboard and trackpad event nodes get mixed up between event0 and
event1:
BUS==input, KERNEL==event*, SYSFS{phys}==isa0060/serio1/input0,
NAME:=input/trackpad_evt, SYMLINK=input/%k
Either this, or you have to wait for a version of X.org that truly
supports mouse hot plugging.

[gentoo-user] xorg can't work with hotplugged mice?
Hi all, from time to time I remove mice and plug them in, as I move my laptop around locations. Sometimes I also start my laptop without a mouse plugged in, and then plug one in after boot. But every time I do so, X doesn't recognise the new mouse. I have /dev/input/mouse[0-3] set up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I have to either restart X, or (this is interesting): switch to a console, unplug then replug the mouse, then switch back to X, and allofasudden the mouse works again. I can't use the generic /dev/input/mice, (the one-for-all device) because I have a synaptic driver for the touchpad (/dev/input/mouse1), and auto for any other mouse plugged in (/dev/input/mouse2). Now, the fact that switching to a console and re-plugging the mouse works is strange - this tells me that X can do it without restarting, but I don't know how to make it recognise the mouse... I can't (and don't want to) use custom udev rules for two reasons: 1. I want to plug in any mouse and have it used straight away as /dev/input/mouse2 2. This is such a simple problem, and udev seems like such a complicated solution :) And lastly, if I have X running with a working usb mouse (/dev/input/mouse2), and then unplug the mouse, then /dev/input/mouse2 stays there. Until I restart X or switch to a console and back (then it disappears)... strange!! does _anyone_ reading use X and _not_ the /dev/input/mice device? I would be interested to hear from you!!! thanks, -- Iain Buchanan iaindb at netspace dot net dot au Everyone writes on the walls except me. -Said to be graffiti seen in Pompeii -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
