Hello,

I noticed the following behaviour on a 770Z, running linux-2.3.20 kernel :
when an external PS/2 mouse is plugged at boot time, there's no way then
to get the trackpoint working after, neither with gpm nor with XFree86.
I restarted gpm, I restarted XFree, I unplugged the external PS/2 mouse,
it didn't work.

If I plug the external mouse only AFTER the linux boot, then both mouses can be
used at the same time. Did anyone experienced this same behaviour ?
