William,
Would both the mouse and keyboard be presenting themselves to the OS as
pointer devices? If so you might need two InputDevice Sections, one for the
real mouse, and one for the keyboard mouse. Only one would be the
CorePointer, but both should work just fine.
Here is an example, you will need to make some modifications for your
environment:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[0]"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "Name" "Autodetection"
Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
Option "Name" "Autodetection"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
...
InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse[0]" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "SendCoreEvents"
...
EndSection
