Hmm...that should be just fine.  Both should be treated as the core device.

Have you tried specifying IMPS/2 as the protocol for both mice?  It 
shouldn't get confused, but maybe it is...

You might also take a look at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse and see 
if it is enlightening based on your brand of scrolly-mouse.  I love 
scrolly-mice...they're addictive.

I personally use a Logitech wireless optical mouse.  Goes through batteries 
pretty fast, since it runs the LED off of the batteries, but I can handle 
that.  I love it.  Now if only I could find a really superior keyboard.

I'm using an M$ Natural Internet Keyboard Pro thing (I don't like M$, but 
they do occasionally come out with some pretty darn good input devices).  
I've done the modmap bit to try and get all the extra buttons working, but 
so far I haven't gotten KDE to recognize them.  I'd love to hit the "Email" 
button and have it launch Evolution.  And I'd like to use the transport 
controls to control Xmms or Mplayer or something.  The web-browsing buttons 
have been pretty much obsoleted by Opera's mouse gestures...another thing 
that is completely addictive.  If anyone knows how to get KDE3 to use my 
extra keyboard buttons, I'd appreciate a pointer...
