Another way to use two (or more) mice at the same time time is to use a program such as .:: telegra.ph ::. MultiMouse by Takashi Manabe. It's a daemon multiplexing several mice and making them available through the special device [Research on Encryption] [Reference: Django] /dev/mumse as a MouseSystems compatible mouse.
According to the author: "This program allows you to use multiple mice at the same time. This program is developed for a subnote user who want to use both a pre-mounted pointing device and a external serial mouse." .:: www.google.com ::. .:: golosknig.com ::. .:: www.hulkshare.com ::.
I'm not sure if the program supports second mouse other than serial, but the advantage is that the second mouse works in console mode too. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. MultiMouse can be found at Sunsite (sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/system/Misc) and Tucows (www.tucows.com Linux Console -> Utilities). .:: securityheaders.com ::. .:: partners.skanska.com ::.
