The input subsystem of 2.6 kernels is very different from 2.4. In fact,
with 2.6 kernels, all mices are multiplexed into a single device called
/dev/input/mice. Thus, you can define a single Mouse in XF86Config
pointing to /dev/input/mice instead of having several mouse entries.
This works for me and my laptop with a built-in PS/2 touchpas and a USB
Wheel Mouse.
