I was wondering why there were two instances to add information for the
mouse. I realize that by the comments that it is for multiple mice
configuration. (Laptop keypad and maybe a ps2 or usb external mouse.)
Since the second instance pointed to "/dev/input/mice" and the first one
pointed to now no longer valid "/dev/psaux" for ps2.
Why are they both still present? I thought from reading mailing lists
that the new "/dev/input/mice" worked for multiple devices already.
(especially with the plural used)
Anyway, I changed mine to both point to /dev/input/mice and X is working
fine with the two identical entries. Is this first entry intended to
point to /dev/mouse, which is symlinked and changed by kudzu or whatever?
I didn't see the use of symlinking "/dev/mouse" to "/dev/input/mouse",
just in case kudzu had some strange ideas as to what to change the link to.
