You can run USB and trackpoint simultanously if you configure XFree86
correctly. I have an USB mouse that runs with the kernel HID driver (modprobe
mousedev) and can plug it in and out ... I don't use gpm. Here is what I've
done:
First, autoload the mousedev module so that there is always the device
/dev/input/mice.
Then, add the following lines to your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (there can be some
lines which are different in your file. The lines marked with + are
important):
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "LCD" 0 0
+ InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
+ InputDevice "Trackpoint" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
+
+Section "InputDevice"
+ Identifier "Trackpoint"
+ Driver "mouse"
+ Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
+ Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
+ Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
+EndSection
+
+Section "InputDevice"
+ Identifier "USB Mouse"
+ Driver "mouse"
+ Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
+ Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
+ Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
+EndSection
Note that I don't have any hardware assistant like kudzu or similar that
autodetects my mouse. If I now plug in my USB mouse, it is used as an input
device for X. I can still use the trackpoint.
Ciao, Matthias
