input?

   

You can install hotplug to handle usb if things come and go or add the
relevant modules to /etc/modules.
You also need to add another mouse for X using the /dev/input/mice
device. If its not always connected (laptop) you should setup gpm for
it and use /dev/gpmdata for X, that way a running X will be able to use
a newly connected mouse (with /dev/input/mice you will need to restart
X).

well I installed hotplug but it does not seem to work. What else to I 
need to do to finish your instructions. For give me for being kind of 
lost. Its a permenant mouse but im using a ps2 adapter for now. The ps/2 
adapter causes my mouse to not be exact in games. if there is any other 
info you need to help me let me know.
Thanks
