simple matter to handle but do note that i have to stay on 2.3.5 for my usb stuff to work, above that (2.3.11 not tested yet), the usb stuff fails.
i have multiple external usb mice and a glidepoint by the keyboard.
from xf86 config,
Section "Pointer" Protocol "ps/2" Device "/dev/psaux" Buttons 5 EndSection
Section "Xinput" SubSection "Mouse" Port "/dev/USB mouse" DeviceName "Logitech wheel" Protocol "imps/2" Device "/dev/USB mouse" Buttons 5 ZAxisMapping 5 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Mouse" Port "/dev/USB mouse" DeviceName "Logitech wheel Core" Protocol "imps/2" Device "/dev/USB mouse" Buttons 5 ZAxisMapping 5 4 AlwaysCore EndSubSection EndSection
there you have it, enjoy.
-d p.s. those two above are distictly different in a subtle way and they're both necessary. the second contains "AlwaysCore" which allows it's events to be mapped to the core pointer which happens to be my glidepoint.
