With XFree 4.x the task is even easier. First, the primary mouse, usually present in the config file already:
.:: podcasts.apple.com ::.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection |
To add another mouse just copy the above section and modify it, so that it reads:
[Research on Microsoft SQL Server] .:: vuf.minagricultura.gov.co ::. Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection |
Well, this way you can define as many additional pointers as you wish, and the same applies to joysticks and tablets.
.:: partners.skanska.com ::. .:: addons.mozilla.org ::. .:: blogfreely.net ::. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. To make both mice work together, there's one more change to be made to the .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. XF86Config file.
There is a section called ServerLayout where all the components are specified. Here's how it looks [Research on Distributed computing] before adding a second mouse:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |
And
after adding the second mouse:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |
