[gentoo-user] Mouse device order

[Yuan MEI]

Hi,

    I am using a ThinkPad laptop, so usually I have three mouse
devices, touchpad, touchpoint and an external USB mouse.  In X11, I
want the external USB mouse be CorePointer and the other two be
AlwaysCore, so that I can re-mapping the USB mouse keys for left-hand
use, while keeping the on-laptop mouse keys unchanged.

    To do this, I have to refer to the three mouses independently
through /dev/input/mouse0,1,2.  The problem is, each time I reboot the
machine, the three device files have different corresponding devices,
totally unpredictable.  So, is there a way to designate which device
file should correspond to which mouse?  And what should I do?
