Two mouses in X.



Hi list.
Sorry for bothering you guys, but here is another problem:

IBM laptop with "native" mouse (I don't remember how it's called, the red 
button people sometimes call "dagdegan":-)) recognized as Generic PS/2
(/dev/psaux) and USB mouse (/dev/input/mice). X works perfectly with both, of 
couse, but my purpose is make the user able to unplug USB mouse and continue 
working with "red button" "on the fly". OS - RH7.2

Initial setup is "PS/2" (or IMPS/2) protocol in /etc/X11/XF86config-4 (this 
does not change), /dev/mouse points to /dev/psaux, red button works, USB - 
doesn't. If I make /dev/mouse point to /dev/inpuit/mice from within X - 
nothing happens, the changes will take place only in new session. 
I was told, however (but never saw), that Suse 7.2 does work this way, i.e. 
if USB mouse is present, it works, if it gets unplugged, "red button" starts 
working immediately without any need to restart X session.

Any ideas? Any RTFMs?

Tnx

Max
