To Configure Two USB Mouse Devices on Oracle Solaris x86 Systems

1. Before you connect the second mouse to your system, list the existing devices:

   # ls -l /dev/usb/hid*

2. Connect the second mouse to your system.
3. List the new device.

   # ls -l /dev/usb/hid*

4. In the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, edit the ServerLayout section as follows:

   Section "ServerLayout"
            Identifier     "X.org Configured"
            Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
            InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
            InputDevice    "Mouse1"
            InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
   					EndSection

5. Edit the InputDevice section as follows:

   Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier  "Mouse0"
            Driver      "mouse"
            Option      "Protocol" "VUID"
            Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
   EndSection

6. Insert a second InputDevice section as follows:

   Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier  "Mouse1"
            Driver      "mouse"
            Option      "Protocol" "VUID"
            Option      "StreamsModule" "usbms"
            Option      "Device" "/dev/usb/hidx"
   EndSection

   where:

   /dev/usb/hidx is the device name that you identified in Step 3.

7. Save the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
8. Restart the X Server.
