    2 Mouses

    Hello,

    I'm a Windows expert but new to Linux and just installed Knoppix to my HD (debian).

    I have two mouses. One regular mouse with cord on PS/2, and a wireless mouse with USB.

    I don't use the wireless mouse (bad tracking etc.), and I use the PS/2 mouse instead. But Knoppix sets the USB mouse as standard. (In windows, they both work.)

    How can I change the standard mouse? (permanently)

    P.S. Plugging out the USB wireless receiver isn't an option, since I need it for my keyboard as well.

    Nope, mine doesn't... Although it's just a PS/2 mouse?

    Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you're using xf86....I have no fucking clue...) and change the mouse device in the corepointer section from /dev/usbmouse to /dev/psaux.
