ps2 from usb mouse

[xIcculusx]

i wanna switch my mouse from usb to ps2 in mandrake , what is the best way ? just move it ? will it autodetect ?
or is it complicated like most things in linux ;)

I guess this has to do with the "usb 7 button mouse" thread.

The following line described the *protocol*, it has nothing to do with what port the mouse is plugged into.

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

You can go to your "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" file and change it to whatever you want. To test it out just run X (not startx) and if your mouse seems to repond fine then it's working, ctrl-alt-backspace to get out of X.
