[lug] Dual mice under X?

The generic USB mouse selection comes up with /dev/mouse
pointing to /dev/input/mice.

I've tried multimouse and both mice do move the cursor, but
the cursor jumps over to the right screen edge and pretty
much stays there. I've seen this behaviour when the protocol
wasn't right.

Trouble is, X uses PS/2 whether I'm using the touchpad or the
external USB mouse. Don't know what else to tell multimouse or
gpm other than ps2 for the type.

So close....
