Thanks for the report. That is odd. I have both a laptop trackpad and a USB mouse. The trackpad is mouse0 and the USB is mouse1. When I hotplug the mouse, only the trackpad works, but when I boot with it plugged in, both work fine.

I have hotplugd running, but nothing special about USB mice in /etc/hotplug/attach - should I?

/etc/hotplug/attach follows:

#!/bin/sh

DEVCLASS=$1
DEVNAME=$2

case $DEVCLASS in
3)
        sh /etc/netstart $DEVNAME
        ;;
esac

note that ps/2 is not actually designed for hotplug (I fried a keyboard
controller to bring you this knowledge)

My X is hardly the newest one and I can testplug usb mice at
will. They work along ps/2 mouse (but just one mouse cursor/arrow, if
I recall - it was a bit of time since I did it last).

Same for keyboards.
