## 3. Using touch screen and mouse in parallel

To use the touch screen and a mouse in parallel you need to enter the mouse specs in the Xinput-section. This definitions should be the same as in the Pointer-section. The following example is for a PS/2-mouse:

    Section "Xinput"
       SubSection "Mouse"
          Protocol "PS/2"
          Port "/dev/mouse" #could also be /dev/psaux
          DeviceName "Mouse"
          AlwaysCore
       EndSubSection
    ...
    EndSection

Several people pointed this out, especially the usage of the AlwaysCore option. Thanks to them all.
