I set this up a while ago for a friend. Getting the USB system to
recognise the mouse wasn't that hard. Then to get X to deal with it, I had
to tell it about using a supplemental pointing device in the config file.
I don't recall exactly what the config entry was, but once I added it and
restarted X, both pointers worked. Sorry it's so vague, it was over a year
ago and I didn't take notes. ;-)
I seem to recall searching google to get some hints.
