I just tried that and it does make both devices move the mouse cursor
with only one InputDevice section in xorg.conf. The problem is that it
does not recognize more than 3 buttons, not even with Option "Buttons"
"10". I read in
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=46
that the evdev driver is needed to get all mousebuttons to work. But
there is no /dev/input/mouseevents for all mouse events. Just event0
(keyboard), event1 (touchpad) and event2 (USBmouse).

If you have it working with a touchpad and an USB mouse with many
buttons, please send your configuration sections.

What about things like Option "Resolution" "800" (from the article
linked above)? It is different for different mice. One could have 2 USB
mice, one with 800 and one with 1600. (Not that I know what that option
is supposed to do, it works without it.)
