I am pretty sure I was able to use my built in mouse and my usb mouse on
my laptop prior to installing RedHat 9.0 on my laptop. I am looking at
the XF86config file and this is what I have for my mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
                                                                                                                             
Section "InputDevice"
                                                                                                                             
# If the normal CorePointer mouse is not a USB mouse then
# this input device can be used in AlwaysCore mode to let you
# also use USB mice at the same time.
        Identifier  "DevInputMice"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection


This second section looks like what I might want to use for the built in
mouse. Should I just change it to the driver that works? I don't know
why they both are not working with 9,0 but I am assuming that this is
what I have to do, anyone else run into this? Thanks

Patrick
