USB mouse not detected

Hey

When plugging in my brand new USB mouse to my laptop, Xorg fails to auto detect it.

I have to restart Xorg in order to use the mouse.

Also, I did not have such problem with a different use mouse I used to use.

This is my xorg.conf relevant sections:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        InputDevice    "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"
        Option "AIGLX" "true"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Mouse2"
        Driver  "mouse"
        Option "Protocol" "auto"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse2"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

This is the only way I could make it work: when pointing the device to /dev/input/mice, it didn't work at all.

Thanks a lot,
Fiod

Re: USB mouse not detected

Shouldn't touchpad "SendCoreEvents" as well?
