Thanks, this put me on the right track and it works fine in X11 now.
It would be nice if "mouseconfig" could was a little smarter -- it
could autodetect my internal PS/2 mouse (it does this today) and also
notice that I got USB and then add the optional USB mouse as below.
Maybe it could notice that I got a serial port and add a serial mouse
there as well. Doesn't solve the problem of which mouse protocol to
use though. Hm. Would probably need to be autodetected by the X11
drivers, maybe via a "Protocol" value of "auto" or something. O well.
My solution, from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
...
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
# Modified by mouseconfig
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
# Modified by mouseconfig
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
