-   I currently have a usb trackball mouse installed and working, but I also have a standard 2 button ps2 mouse that I would like to use for working in Gimp. I can't figure out how to install the second mouse and have them both working at the same time. There doesn't seem to be anything apparent in the Control Centre to install a second mouse. Thanks for any help!

-   There is no Control Center option for this, you have to manually edit your
XF86Config-4 to enable two pointer devices.
