most convenient for the task at hand; perhaps input is easier with a keyboardmounted
TouchPad, but surfing is easier with a mouse.
If youre using Linux, there is a very simple way to configure multiple mice: simply
specify /dev/input/mice as the pointer input device. This will merge input from the
PS/2 and all USB mice.
However, if you??™re not using Linux, have serial mice, or wish to configure each
device separately (for example, to enable the special features of a Synaptics Touch-
Pad), you will need to create multiple InputDevice sections, then reference each of
them through an InputDevice entry in the ServerLayout.
The first, primary InputDevice entry must have the argument CorePointer. Other
devices must have the argument SendCoreEvents (or the synonym, AlwaysCore):
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" # Main pointer
InputDevice "Synaptics" "SendCoreEvents" # Secondary pointer
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
# Device will be discovered automatically
EndSection
Alternately, the CorePointer and SendCoreEvents values can be moved from the
ServerLayout section to the InputDevice section; this syntax is used in configuration
files generated by the automatic configuration tools on Debian systems:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0"
InputDevice "Synaptics"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "CorePointer" # Main pointer
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
