5 Oh, a few more things. /dev/psaux is now deprecated, so you should
6 probably change this to be /dev/input/mouseX.

8 Also, you might want to play a bit with the ordering of your module
9 loading (assuming you are using modules) in /etc/autoload.d/kerne-2.6,
10 so that psmouse is loaded before usbhid. This should make mouse0 and
11 mouse1 your trackpad & stick, and mouse2 your USB mouse. This way,
12 you have the option of not connecting the USB mouse, without having X
13 complain about a missing device.
14
15 In this setup, you would having something like:
16
17 Section "ServerLayout"
18 Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
19 Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
20 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
21 InputDevice "trackpad" "CorePointer"
22 InputDevice "stick"
23 InputDevice "usbmouse"
24 EndSection
25 ...
