ABSTRACT:
A method and system for permitting simultaneous communication between a data processing system and input pointing devices of multiple types. During the initialization of an operating system, each input pointing device which is coupled to a data processing system is automatically identified. Thereafter, in response to each input from any one of the identified input pointing devices, a particular software routine is automatically selected, thus permitting each identified input pointing device to communicate with the data processing system.
