Description Ryan 2003-02-08 17:56:28 UTC

I'd like to recommend that the device file used for loading up a USB mouse in X
windows be changed from:
/dev/input/mouse0
to:
/dev/input/mice

/dev/input/mice does not change when mice are attached/removed and seems to me
to be a better, more flexible option.
