Ha, very funny... any pointers. Well, you can use the input layer that
went in around 2.4.1[6-9] or whenever and use the device
/dev/input/mice, which should (I think) be the input from all mice (ie,
from /dev/input/mouse0, /dev/input/mouse1, etc). I think I saw this done
once, but I myself use /dev/misc/psaux with my Vaio and its touchpad.

Or I am babbling. ;)
