Hi Andreas. I'm starting to see a pattern here...most posts that I have read in this forum, users complain about some fault with debian, specially with Dell Inspiron models. I will steer clear from Dell laptops from now on.
Anyway, you should be able to use both at the same time (PS/2 and touch pad), but if you want to plug a mouse in w/o restarting the PC you should work with a serial mouse. It won't lock up on you when you plug or unplug. ...In Accordance With The Prophecy.
