Well, I have a two-button touchpad built-in my keyboard, however under X11 two buttons is insane. I realize there are software workarounds including emulate3buttons of X11 itself, however, I chose to purchase a 3-button trackball, because it was a more tolerable solution. Yet, I find myself trying to use the touchpad even though I know it's not connected. So, I would rather connect both pointing devices and allow either to control the cursor. I have scoured deja.com, the freebsd website, and the xfree86.org documentation, and I'm still at a loss how to get Two pointing devices (one serial(with PS/2 converter) one PS/2 only) to operate the same mouse cursor. I've also seen PS/2 Y cables, which I assume are for laptops, not putting two mice on the same device. If anyone knows of any way to get two pointing devices controlling the same cursor please enlighten me, and I'd appreciate answers CCed to my mail, if possible. Thank you, Ryan M.
