I have similar setup with Synaptic touchpad: That might be a problem too (tho' I thought that /dev/input/mice was supposed to handle multiple hotplugged mice transparently?), but I think there's something else here: with the USB mouse attached the touchpad isn't detected at all during boot. Attempting to cat /dev/input/mice or /dev/input/mouseX shows absolutely nothing from the touchpad if the USB mouse is attached during boot. Cheers, Miles
