Hello

I have DSL 3.01 installed on a laptop with a touchpad. the mouse (touchpad) is configured via xsetup.sh as /dev/psaux (PS2). this works for the touchpad.

but sometimes i will use a microsoft intelli mouse explorer (usb optical mouse). For this to get to work, i have to run xsetup.sh again. After this, the USB mouse is working but the touchpad not.

Can i have both devices working at the same time ? What should i make to have both devices at the same time ?

I'm going to _guess_ that you might need xfree86 or xorg for multiple pointers. I know those servers will allow you to specify a second pointer with some tweaking to XF86Config, but I don't know if it's supported by DSL's X server.

Ok, will try this in the next days... now, since im having vmware player installed and working in fullscreen mode, im very very very happy with dsl...

at this time i have to build a new website for my grilfriend, but when this is done, i will write a complex german "tips and tricks" for DSL on my website under http://www.pfohlnet.de
