 I don't remember how this is supposed to work (had to move to usb mice
 everywhere some time back) but I don't think the same pckbc ought to
 appear twice as two different instances.
 
 However, I do remember that sometimes this kind of behavior can be
 caused by BIOS-level usb mouse stuff; make sure that's switched
 off.
