Basically, you'll want to set up two input device sections. One mouse1
and the other mouse2 for example. Set up the first one to use
/dev/psaux and the ps/2 protocol. Even set it to do 3rd button
emulation.
Then set the other one to use imps/2, do scroll buttons, and use
/dev/input/mice as the input. (presuming it's usb)
Then set the ServerLayout to use one as "CorePinter" and the other as
"SendCoreEvents."
Here's an example, that's mostly syntactically correct:
Section "ServerLayout"
:
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
:
:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
