Re: Mouse hotplug in X?

Thanks for the report. That is odd. I have both a laptop trackpad and a
USB mouse. The trackpad is mouse0 and the USB is mouse1. When I hotplug
the mouse, only the trackpad works, but when I boot with it plugged in,
both work fine.

I have hotplugd running, but nothing special about USB mice in
/etc/hotplug/attach - should I?

/etc/hotplug/attach follows:

#!/bin/sh

DEVCLASS=$1
DEVNAME=$2

case $DEVCLASS in
3)
sh /etc/netstart $DEVNAME
;;
esac
