But still I have one more problem which is of reattaching the master pointer to plugged mouse i.e. slave device. When I used *'list'* option of *xinput* command it shows some 2 virtual core pointers and one master ( that I created earlier by 'create-master' option ) .For that I had configured *lib-hal-dev* package from synaptics and also checked for *dbus* package so it ws already there so didn't install again.But still when I plug in an usb mouse its not getting recognised when I checked using 'list' option of xinput command. P.S. I have configured X server on ubuntu interpid-ibex. > -- > Dan > -- Thanks, Amey.
