I have a Sony VAIO laptop. When I plug in my USB keyboard, I can use both
it and the built-in keyboard. However, it boots up with the USB mouse in,
I can only use the USB mouse, not the built-in scratch-pad mouse.
(Other than that, the USB stuff seems to work great!)
Is this expected behaviour?
If not, I'll send in a detailed report on my system...
Thanks,
Ben

you need to run gpm -M (for gpm console dual mouse support
for xf86 4.x you need to make sure there are two mouse setups...
something like:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
To add another mouse just copy the above section and modify it, so that it
reads:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
then tweak the server layout section for the second mouse...
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
see if that helps...
