Thank you for the tip. It worked.
Documentation on how to do this was skimpy, but the following seems to
work. The two mice still get separated during motion, but when I pause
they catch up with each other. This is with xorg 1:7.3+20 on Debian
Lenny.
<xorg.conf>
Section "Module"
Load "evdev"
Disable "mouse"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device"
"/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:01.2-usb-0:1:1.0-event-joystick"
Option "Path"
"/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:01.2-usb-0:1:1.0-event-joystick"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
</xorg.conf>
The man page with the distribution says the mouse module supports the
USB protocol, but when I put that in I got an error that it was an
unknown protocol.
"Device" and "Path" are supposed to be redundant for evdev; I put in the
device when I got "no device specified" errors (approximate wording). I
think the real cause was that the default mouse driver was still being
preferred. I added the CorePointer option and the Module section to
defeat that.
It's probably possible to cook up some udev rule to get a more useful
and stable name for the input device. There may be one now, but I
wasn't sure which it was.
The current xorg is advertised as auto-detecting the configuration;
clearly that's not quite true in this case.
The xorg.conf above probably includes unnecessary directives.
The current virtual screen is too big. Can anyone tell me the best way
to fix that?
