Comment 1 for bug 147676

Why the "workaround" or editing xorg.conf is NOT enough::
1. U have usual 2B mouse on COM1 & u plug in USB MX500
2. u have basic 3B PS/2 mouse & touchpad on laptop & u plug in wireless bluetooth MX-900
3. you have plugged M$ Explorer mouse & Genius scrolll mouse - you plug them both off, then you plug in wireless MX 518 or wifi laser MX-1000
4. etc. aso.
5. if you tell one computer, one mouse ... : I'll tell you: ... one OS, eine Sprache, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer

There is USB for Plug&Play (not pray), it works(!) (if xorg.conf is OK), and all above situations work on all win* OS.

A. IMH!O thiziz NOT a whislist. Its a bug. Mouse without ANY configuration is NOT working (not all functions), so its (medium?) bug, not a wishlist.
