[lug] Dual mice under X?

[Bonnell, Doug]

Well.... the options in the BIOS aren't too promising!

There is Serial Mouse, which enables an external serial
mouse and disables the touch pad.

There is PS/2 Mouse, which enables an external PS/2 mouse
and disables the touch pad.

There is Touch Pad - PS/2 Mouse which switches between
devices depending on whether an external PS/2 mouse is
plugged in or not.

Would the BIOS really need to get involved with a serial
mouse (from the Linux perspective, anyway)? Seems it 
wouldn't need much setup, just setserial on /dev/ttySx and
then gpm would be able to communicate to it.

Is there USB legacy devices, say /dev/usbmouse, available 
under the 2.4.x kernels? I'm not seeing such.
