I have a laptop with the inbuild mouse and I also use a usb mouse.
Now when I boot into xdm/X with the usb mouse attached, it seems like I
can remove the mouse and then reattach and things are okay.
But X dosn't see my usb mouse when I attach it to the machine after I
have booted and gone into xdm.
I have tried xsetpointer but it doesn seem to work ?
output from xsetpointer (with USB)
~$ xsetpointer -l
"USB Mouse" [XExtensionDevice]
"Inbuilt Mouse" [XPointer]
"NVIDIA Event Handler" [XExtensionDevice]
"NVIDIA Kernel Input Handler" [XExtensionDevice]
"keyboard" [XKeyboard]
output from xsetpointer (without USB)
~$ xsetpointer -l

Any pointers are to what I can do apart from restarting X
