[vox] USB vs. PS/2 mouse

Hello,

I have an IBM thinkpad with an _eraser head_ mouse.  I like the eraser 
head and I've grown rather fond of it over the years (I had an old 
toshiba laptop with the same mouse before).  However, every once and I 
while I like to plug in my USB scroll mouse...

So here's my question:  Is there a USB insertion script somewhere that I 
can add a line or two to re-point /dev/mouse (currently points to 
/dev/psaux, would need to point to /dev/input/mice)?  Would this kind of 
think require hotplug? I don't have hotplug turned on.  Also, this would 
need to work in the reverse, if possible, upon removal.

Thanks,
Dave
