[ale] USB mouse

[Dow Hurst]

Here is my USB mouse section from XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[3]"
  Option       "ButtonNumber" "7"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/pointer0"
  Option       "EmulateWheel" "on"
  Option       "EmulateWheelButton" "4"
  Option       "InputFashion" "Mouse"
  Option       "Name" "USB-Mouse:ExplorerPS/2"
  Option       "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Also you'll need this:
Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier   "Layout[all]"
  InputDevice  "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
  InputDevice  "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
  InputDevice  "Mouse[3]" "SendCoreEvents"
  Screen       "Screen[0]"
EndSection

And in the Files Section (truncated for brevity) notice the following:
InputDevices "/dev/ttyS0"
  InputDevices "/dev/ttyS1"
  InputDevices "/dev/ttyS2"
  InputDevices "/dev/ttyS3"
  InputDevices "/dev/ttyS4"
  InputDevices "/dev/ttyS5"
  InputDevices "/dev/ttyS6"
  InputDevices "/dev/ttyS7"
  InputDevices "/dev/ttyS8"
  InputDevices "/dev/psaux"
  InputDevices "/dev/logibm"
  InputDevices "/dev/sunmouse"
  InputDevices "/dev/atibm"
  InputDevices "/dev/amigamouse"
  InputDevices "/dev/atarimouse"
  InputDevices "/dev/inportbm"
  InputDevices "/dev/gpmdata"
  InputDevices "/dev/mouse"
  InputDevices "/dev/usbmouse"
  InputDevices "/dev/adbmouse"
  InputDevices "/dev/input/mice"
  InputDevices "/dev/input/event0"
  InputDevices "/dev/pointer0"
  InputDevices "/dev/pointer1"
  InputDevices "/dev/pointer2"
  InputDevices "/dev/pointer3"
EndSection


I have a PS2 mouse hooked up as well as the USB mouse so that is why the number of devices is such as it is.  I am running under SuSE 8.1.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 with 2 internal mice (ps2 I suppose) But I 
also want to be able to use and external USB mouse.

Ive enabled all the needed USB stuff in the kernel and the mouse is 
detected on bootup (it even tells me the model name :) (and beeps when I 
unplug/plug the mouse)

What should I add to XF86Config-4 to get it to work under Xwindows?
