Similar here, with two mice I get two instances of moused running.
Not two cursors, but I can move one or the other mouse to move the
cursor. Works both in "text mode" and in X.

That shouldn't be needed, because moused is invoked from devd
with the correct device name. The device only needs to be
specified (or should I say: "needed to be specified") for
devices that are not "plug & play", such as serial ports,
which could be attached to anything; for example a serial
mouse needed the _port option to be set manually, whereas
the PS/2 and USB usually don't.

Correct. :-)

I have switched off the touchpad in the BIOS, leaving only
the TrackPoint (and possible external mice) active.

Same here, no configuration of input devices.

It isn't listed there. USB mice can be found in the output of
dmesg and usbconfig, PS/2 mice only via dmesg (or system log
file), serial mice not at all.
