I have a sony laptop with an alps touchpad. I've setup my xorg.conf to use the
synaptics driver however I also have a wireless keyboard/mouse by Gyration.
If I setup my xorg.conf like this my touchpad works great:

However if I plug the wireless receiver into a USB port with this
configuration then X won't start. If I use the following settings then my
wireless mouse & keyboard work however if I boot without the wireless devices
then my touchpad does not work properly:

When I boot with the first configuration and my touchpad works well - and X
fails to start I get this in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

What I want is a single config file that will do the following:
1) run my touchpad with the synaptics driver and settings
2) allow the wireless mouse to work when I plug in the receiver without having
to edit the xorg.conf file.
Thanks in advance for your help.
