2) I have a wireless optical mouse thingy, which only works on USB. I
noticed that the default movement speed of a mouse in X is quite slow,
so i went to the gnome-control-center to speed things up a bit.. To my
supprise i could slide sliders to my hearts content, but with no visible
changes.. It turns out the default XF86Config is configured for 2 mouse
inputs (old style psaux mice, and usb mice).. And gnome-control-center's
mouse applet only changed the settings for the core mouse.. Resolution
was to remove the "Mouse0" device input section, rename the device id
for DevInputMice to Mouse0, and remove the DevInputMice reference in the
ServerLayout section... After this the mouse configuration set the mouse
speed for my usb mouse nicely again
The input subsystem of 2.6 kernels is very different from 2.4. In fact,
with 2.6 kernels, all mices are multiplexed into a single device called
/dev/input/mice. Thus, you can define a single Mouse in XF86Config
pointing to /dev/input/mice instead of having several mouse entries.
This works for me and my laptop with a built-in PS/2 touchpas and a USB
Wheel Mouse.
