Comment: Does anybody know how I can keep Linux from seeing my USB graphics tablet as a USB mouse? I run a dual boot of windows and Linux all the time. Recently added new computer and graphics tablet. I've set up windows and the tablet is working great, but when I went to install Linux my PS/12 mouse would not work. I found the problem was that Linux is seeing my tablet as a USB mouse. I know I can unplug the tablet when running Linux, but I was wondering if there is any way to get Linux to see my PS/2 mouse and forget about the graphics tablet. Right now my mouse is not usuable if the tablet is connected.

Reply: (edit)Edit your xf86config file, go to section inputdevice for the mouse, change the option protocol to (probably) "ImPS/2", and the option device to "/dev/psaux".
