Here is a note from Thanassis Misaridis on the xf86config for using a usb mouse in conjunction with the built-in mousepad.
He has a zt1180 under mandrake 8.2, and has video working too
About the mouse: I am using two mice (built-in and an external USB mouse) They work both at the same time with no conflict under XFree86 4.2. The wheel works too for both.
You have to add two entries in your XF86Config file:
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"
I have attached my XF86Config. Remember to change your resolution for your laptop (Mine has 1400X1050). XF86Free 4.2 is great. Antialiasing fonts and graphics supported by Qt/KDE is fabuluous. XVideo extension works fine too and I can watch DVDs.
Sounds works fine too. Tell your friend to drop me a line if he needs help with configuring it under Mandrake.
Regards,
Thanassis
