My laptop has a Synaptics touchpad and also has a plug for an external
mouse. I boot into run level 3. The touchpad works when I boot. Once
I've booted and started X, I can plug in the mouse and both it and the
touchpad can control the pointer. However, if I boot with the mouse
plugged in, X crashes when I try to start it. How can I boot with the
mouse plugged in and have the mouse and touchpad both work?
I've attached the relevant part of my xorg.conf file below.
