Try using Sax (or is it Sax2?). It has options to add multiple mice, but as I only use one at time, I don't know if it will work or not for what you need.
I tried SaX2 .. it added another entry in XF86Config, but it didn't work because it (or, more likely, I) selected the wrong protocol. So I decided to hack around with the XF86Config manually and got it working like this .. Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "ButtonNumber" "2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "Name" "Autodetection" Option "Protocol" "PS/2" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "mouse" Identifier "Mouse[3]" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "InputFashion" "Mouse" Option "Name" "USB-Mouse;PS/2" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "5" EndSection Both the onboard pointer and USB mouse now work together and the pointer continues to work after removing the mouse. 1 niggle down ... 1001 to go ;-) sjb
