if you use /dev/input/mice, does this just work ?

[Comment 3 INODE64 Sistemas 2005-01-25 07:03:56 UTC]

The kernel 2.6 allows to work with 2 or more mice using the same device/dev/input/mice

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2005-01-25 16:43:31 UTC]

ok, well the implicit question is, if /dev/input/mice works fine, why do you need this patch ?

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2005-01-28 22:25:53 UTC]

no real point when you can use /dev/input/mice or just stick these options into $APPEND
