Dear Gentoo developers,

I have installed gentoo rc5.  Mostly works very well.  There is one odd 
thing I'd like to ask about.

The usb interface doesn't use /dev/input/mice.  Instead, it grabs 
/dev/psaux, making it impossible for me to use both my usb mouse and my 
ps2 mouse.  If I disconnect the usb mouse, then the next time the system 
reboots it sees my ps2 mouse.

I'd like to be able to use both of these mice!

Well, I also have a ps/2 and a usb mouse and both of these work, in any 
combination and with usb hotpluging and hot unplugging. So whatever it is 
it's not a generic gentoo rc5 problem. HT in your search.
