Jeff - I am about to enter into this very issue myself. What would be best is if I can get RH7.2 to recognize there is a usb mouse and then use the XF86Config-4 file with the correct device. Wears me out swapping back and forth. can I edit XF86 manually so both will work? I have been using mouseconfig . As for the touch pad take a look at : http://www.compass.com/tpconfig Works great out of the box for both synaptics and alps touchpads and comes configured to diable the tap feature. THis is on a sony vaio fxa32 laptop. I ran it on my old dell running 6.2 for well over a year.
