One thing I have done in the past was to use GPM as the mouse
driver. It has a mode were it creates a device that X uses as
its mouse, and then GPM talks to the mouse itself. You can change
the mouse device that GPM reads "on the fly", or have it read
more then one mouse, and combined them to one output. It will
handle mice with different protocols, and convert as necessary.
