I have been looking around the forums and can't seem to find the right combinations of options. How do I set up my xorg.conf so that my touchpad always works and so that Xorg does not crash when I have the usb mouse not plugged in.

In xorg.conf:

Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier  "Simple Layout"
  Screen  0 "Screen0" 0 0
  InputDevice  "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
  InputDevice  "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
  InputDevice  "USBMouse" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection


Note replace Touchpad and USBMouse with whatever names you use for InputDevice Identifier. You'll also have to have seperate InputDevice sections foe each device. If you don't have this and would like an example let me know and I'll post the rest of the config for you.
